Cri du Chat Syndrome (CdCS) is rare and occurs as a result of a partial deletion in the short arm of chromosome 5. There are no reports in the literature from the West African sub-region and indeed very few from Africa. A case of Cri du Chat Syndrome is described in Ghana. Dysmorphology training is strongly recommended for post graduate training programmes in the sub-region.All children with dysmorphic features deserve an accurate diagnosis to enable helpful genetic counseling and prognosis to be determined.
猫叫综合征（CdCS）较为罕见，是由5号染色体短臂部分缺失所致。西非次区域的文献中尚无相关报道，非洲地区的报道也确实很少。本文描述了加纳的一例猫叫综合征病例。强烈建议在该次区域的研究生培训项目中开展畸形学培训。所有具有畸形特征的儿童都应得到准确诊断，以便进行有效的遗传咨询并确定预后。
