LEOPARD syndrome (LS) is a rare hereditary disorder, characterised mainly by skin, facial and cardiac abnormalities. We report on the case of a six-year-old Djiboutian with typical features of LS. Multiple cardiovascular problems are described, including pulmonary infundibular, valvular and supra-valvular stenosis. A favourable course was observed after successful cardiac surgery. This is the first reported case of LS from the horn of Africa.
