Abstract
Hallermann Streiff Syndrome (HSS) (OMIM 234100) also known as oculo-mandibulo-dyscephaly is a rare disorder that is principally diagnosed by multiple congenital anomalies localized in the head and neck region. This syndrome is usually sporadic and characterized by a bird-like face, mandibular and maxillary hypoplasia, ocular and dental abnormalities, skin atrophy and short stature. Fifteen percent of the patients are mentally retarded. They may have life-threatening respiratory problems during early infancy because of the small nares and glossoptosis secondary to micrognathia and tracheomalacia. In this report, we present a 2 -month-old girl with typical clinical features of the Hallermann Streiff syndrome
