Abstract
Which are the distinctive features of Cornelia de Lange syndrome? When should it be suspected? Which of these features are of interest for a paediatrician who assists a young patient with this syndrome? Which tools can the paediatrician use in order to give adequate support to the child and their family? The paper aims to answer these questions and provide the practical indications for early diagnosis and care of children affected by this rare syndrome.
