Objective To recognize and carry out early diagnosis for Cockayne syndrome (CS) as it is an extremely rare auto-recessive genetic syndrome characterized by multiple symptoms including growth failure and impaired development of the nervous system. Methods Here we reported a case of typical CS with an unusual appearance. The 19-year-old young male patient was referred to West China Hospital on December 24th 2012. We analyzed the clinical characteristics of the patient and followed the literature review to help improve the knowledge on CS for clinicians. Results The patient's parents were cousins. Laboratory data showed that lipoprotein profile, blood glucose and electrolytes, liver and renal function, as well as hormones (thyroxin, para-thyroxin, growth hormones, adrenocorticotropic hormone, corticosteroid) were all within normal limit. Electronic hearing examination showed moderate neural hearing loss. CT scan indicated multiple intracranial calcifications. The patient was definitely diagnosed with CS. He received nutritional support and symptomatic treatment but discharged due to lack of effective treatment. Conclusion CS is a progressive multisystem disorder characterized by a specific cellular defect in transcription-coupled repair. Typical features include developmental delay and impaired development of the nervous system. Typical clinical manifestations and imaging changes are helpful for clinical diagnosis of CS. Genotyping is necessary for patients with CS. Unfortunately, there is no ideal treatment for CS. Most of the patients with CS have poor prognosis.
