Hennekam syndrome also known as Hennekam lymphangiectasia–lymphedema syndrome and intestinal lymphagiectasia–lymphedema–mental retardation syndrome[1] is an autosomal recessive disorder consisting of intestinal lymphangiectasia, facial anomalies, peripheral lymphedema, and mild to moderate levels of growth and intellectual disability.[1][2]

It is also known as "lymphedema-lymphangiectasia-mental retardation syndrome".[3]

It may be associated with CCBE1 according research published by its namesake, Raoul Hennekam.[4][5]
