ABSTRACT
The incidence of Congenital Talipes Equino Varus (CTEV) is approximately one in every 1000 live births. CTEV has been associated with many neuromuscular and congenital conditions. Down syndrome is the most common autosomal chromosomal anomaly. A 2 year old boy with Down syndrome was referred to the department of Physical Medicine &Rehabilitation of a tertiary care Hospital, for bilateral feet deformity. On examination, we found feet deformities typical of CTEV. The co-existence of these two conditions is rare, as their basic pathologies are entirely different.
