    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Melnick-Needles syndrome is a rare X-linked dominant disorder characterized by generalized bone dysplasia.
    • Typical clinical manifestations include facial abnormalities (exophthalmos, hypertelorism, micrognathia) and skeletal deformities.

    Observation:

    • A 10-year-old female with generalized bone dysplasia was diagnosed with Melnick-Needles syndrome.
    • This patient exhibited characteristic facial and skeletal features, along with unusual ophthalmological findings of sclerocornea and cornea plana.

    Findings:

    • This report details the first documented case of Melnick-Needles syndrome in the ophthalmological literature.
    • The patient presented with sclerocornea and cornea plana, ophthalmological conditions not previously associated with this syndrome.

    Implications:

    • This case broadens the understanding of Melnick-Needles syndrome's clinical and ophthalmological manifestations.
    • Highlights the importance of comprehensive ophthalmological examination in patients with bone dysplasias.
    • Suggests potential genotype-phenotype correlations to be explored in future research.
