Hallermann-Streiff-like syndrome

A rare genetic bone development disorder characterized by multiple congenital fractures, slender ribs and long bones, deficient ossification of the skull, and dysmorphic facial features reminiscent of Hallermann-Streiff syndrome (such as high forehead and triangular face with small jaw, deep-set eyes, beaked, narrow nose, downturned mouth, and posteriorly angulated ears). Bilateral microphthalmia, cataracts, and pulmonary hypoplasia have also been reported. The disease is fatal in the neonatal period. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1995.
