Escobar syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by contractures, pterygia and craniofacial anomalies. Here we report a school-age girl harboring compound-heterozygous CHRNG variants, NM_005199.5:c.[2T>C];[428C>G] p.[(Met1?)];[(Pro143Arg)]. She presented with neonatal asphyxia, congenital limb contractures and low-frequency hearing loss but without pterygia, maintaining normal cognition. This case underscores the phenotypic variability of CHRNG-related disease and alerts clinicians to recognize milder presentations that lack pterygia and to consider targeted genetic testin.
