Hallermann-Streiff Syndrome in a Neonate: - A Case Report

Hallermann-streiff syndrome (HSS) is a rare genetic condition which involves multiple congenital abnormalities chiefly affecting the head and the face. Around 150 cases have been reported in literature world wide. We report a 24 hour old baby which presented to our hospital with to an abnormal facial appearance and feeding difficulties. Baby had frontal and parietal prominence with a pointed and beak-like nose, micrognathia and neonatal teeth. The prognosis for this condition is not exactly known and therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is essential for management.
