Cri-du-chat syndrome, also called cat-cry syndrome is a rare, congenital disorder diagnosed at birth by a kitten-like cry caused by a laryngeal anomaly. It is associated with a defect in chromosome 5. Other characteristics include low birth weight, wide-set eyes, "moon face", microcephaly (small head), strabismus, and low-set, mis-shapen ears. Heart defects and developmental delays are also common.
