We report two siblings suffering from Werner's syndrome, which is a rare premature aging disorder caused by genetic mutations. They developed premature aging during adolescence with loss and graying of hair, short stature, baldness, atrophic skin, thin extremities, flat feet, 'bird-like' face and cataracts. Multiple chronic non-healing ulcers were present over the feet in both patients
