Béguez César syndrome

Syndromes in medicine including genetic syndromes are generally named after the physician or group of physicians that discovered them or initially provided the full clinical picture or the best description of the syndrome. However, many of the rare genetic syndromes have been described by doctors in many areas of the world before the era of the internet which has been associated with easy access to clinical reports throughout the world. Unfortunately, some syndromes have been attributed unfairly and inappropriately to doctors other that those first described them. Béguez César syndrome has not been named appropriately in many or most medical literature. The aim of this book is to describe the early historic documentation of this rare syndrome particularly during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Béguez César syndrome has not been described or documented in Iraq. An other aim of this book is to describe the first case of the syndrome in Iraq.
