Mongolism (Down's Syndrome)

Oval lynxed eyes having downward, inward slant, Present on the sacrum a blue naevus spot. The flat face and stunted fingers, With little fingers curved inwards. Large head with occiput flat, Present on the iris a ’Brushfield’ spot. He has fine silky hair And complexion fair Right from the birth has a diseased heart, His tongue is protruded, and he is not smart.
