A rare, rhizo-mesomelic dysplasia characterized by distinct facial features (flat midface, flat small nose, anteverted nares, low set ears, protuberant eyes, and small mouth with long upper lip), markedly short limbs with relatively normal hands and feet, short ribs with broad metaphyses and small bell-shaped thorax with protuberant abdomen. Vertebral bodies are flat, creating a distinctive pinched appearance in lateral radiographic views. Cleft palate, micrognathia, bifid tongue and brachyclinodactyly with some soft tissue syndactyly have been reported in few patients. It is mostly a neonatally lethal condition. Affected individuals who survive the neonatal period persents with severe global developmental delay, severe skeletal dysplasia, high myopia and mild to moderate hearing loss.
