Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl syndrome (LMBBS) is an important entity among the paediatric syndromes. It is an autosomal recessively transmitted genetic disorder. LMBBS is characterized by obesity, retinal degeneration, extra digits on the hands and feet (polydactyly), intellectual impairment and hypogonadism. The syndrome has historic importance as initially it was known as the LMBBS and then it is recently subcategorised into the well famous LaurenceMoon Syndrome (LMS) and the well published Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS). We present a case report of a eight month old male child with LMBBS.
