Hallermann–Streiff syndrome with cutaneous manifestations

Hallermann–Streiff syndrome was first published by Aubry in 1893. The disorder is named after two investigators who independently reported cases of this syndrome and gave complete descriptions, namely Hallermann, in 1948, and Streiff, in 1950. In 1958, Franc ois described seven signs essential for the diagnosis of Hallermann–Streiff syndrome: (i) dyscephalia and bird-like facial features; (ii) abnormal dentition; (iii) hypotrichosis; (iv) atrophy of the skin, especially on the nose; (v) congenital cataracts; (vi) bilateral microphthalmia; and (vii) proportionate dwarfism. To the best of our knowledge, extremely few instances of Hallermann–Streiff syndrome with cutaneous manifestations have been reported. In view of its rarity, we report such a case.
