Cri du chat syndrome is a rare genetic disorder. The aim of the article is to describe the evolution of a patient with this disease after comprehensive rehabilitation treatment. The case of a 4-year-old female patient is reported here. She was treated in the children neurology clinic at the International Center for Neurological Restoration in 2019. The treatment included 20 stimulation sessions for each specialty: physical, occupational, language and other therapeutic alternatives. The Brunet-Lézine Scale was applied and the qualitative evolution of the different therapies and the Gross Motor Function Scale were described before and after treatment. It was concluded that comprehensive rehabilitation was effective in this patient, as improvement was evidenced in her motor function, language, and manipulative skills.
