Abstract:
The Hallermann-Streiff syndrome is characterized by dyscephaly (bird like facies), microphthalmia, cataracts, micrognathia, beaked nose, abnormal dentition, hypotrichosis, cutaneous atrophy and proportional small stature. There is no sex predilection. Productive capacity has not been studied in these patients. Successful pregnancy is rare. We present a patient with the classical signs associated with pregnancy, the outcome of which was successful. This is the first reported case of Hallermann-Streiff syndrome associated with pregnancy.
