  • Medical Genetics
  • Dermatology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Tyrosinaemia type II, also known as Richner-Hanhart syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder.
  • Classical symptoms include corneal opacities/ulcers, palmoplantar keratoderma, and subnormal intelligence.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of Tyrosinaemia type II with atypical features.
  • The patient exhibited self-harm behaviors and diffuse, rather than circumscribed, plantar keratoderma.

Findings:

  • The study highlights the variability in clinical presentation of Tyrosinaemia type II.
  • Early identification and management are key to preventing severe neurological complications.

Implications:

  • Prompt diagnosis and dietary regulation can effectively manage oculocutaneous symptoms.
