Megalocornea-mental retardation syndrome: an additional case

Megalocornea and mental retardation syndrome: clinical and instrumental follow-up of a case

Megalocornea-mental retardation syndrome, otherwise known as Neuhauser syndrome, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. Only 36 cases have been reported in the literature. We describe the clinical and instrumental follow-up, lasting 5 years, of a case showing the typical features of the syndrome, associated with transient hypothyroidism, epilepsy, cerebral palsy with choreoathetotic movements, and brain malformation. Our report might help better delineate the phenotype and natural history of the syndrome.

Primary hypothyroidism and osteopenia associated with Neuhauser syndrome

We report on a patient affected by Neuhauser megalocornea-mental retardation (MMR) syndrome, presenting with most of the major manifestations of this disorder, in association with primary hypothyroidism and osteopenia. These symptoms, previously reported in single patients, could be discrete features of MMR syndrome.

Megalocornea-mental retardation syndrome: an additional case report

We report here on a Japanese male infant with megalocornea-mental retardation (MMR) syndrome. He had megalocornea (corneal diameter: 13 mm) without glaucoma, developmental retardation, hypotonia, frontal bossing, high-arched palate, carp-like mouth, micrognathia, and delayed myelination. He seems to be included in Verloes type of the MMR syndrome.
