SUMMARY

We report the case of an 8-month-old female child with co-existence of CHARGE with myelodysplastic syndrome, which is not reported in the literature. The patient was treated with packed cell transfusion, laser photocoagulation for retinal detachment, and antimicrobials, and referred for bone marrow transplantation.
