Neuhauser Syndrome

Megalocornea Mental Retardation Syndrome

Thus, a thorough assessment for ophthalmological, neurological and endocrinological changes in patients presenting with one of the key features is recommended. [n.neurology.org]

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. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Case presentation: Two sisters of a non-consanguineous family, presented to our genetics department with ataxia, primary amenorrhea and dysmorphic features. [epostersonline.com]

Chorioretinal dystrophy may not always be present. [malacards.org]

  • Short Stature

    Some affected individuals experience growth delays ultimately resulting in short stature. [rarediseases.org]

    Short stature, hypercholesterolemia, seizures and hypothyroidism have also been reported. Genetics No specific mutation has been found. Most cases occur sporadically. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

    The elder sister (index patient 1) had enopthalmous, strabismus, a thin upper lip and short stature 155cm. [epostersonline.com]

    Other hormone abnormalities lead to short stature in some affected individuals. The third characteristic feature of Boucher-Neuhäuser syndrome is eye abnormalities, most commonly chorioretinal dystrophy. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

    The other family members showed microcephaly, slight mental retardation, and short stature, but not chorioretinopathy. [healio.com]

  • Choking

    In the first week of life, he had some choking episodes, which were thought to be due to gastro-oesophageal reflux. Thereafter, feeding and weight gain were satisfactory. He had an apnoeic attack at the age of 7 weeks. [journals.plos.org]

  • Hyperlaxity

    Micro/macrocephaly, facial dysmorphism, delayed psychomotor development, retarded growth, primary hypothyroidism, seizures, joint hyperlaxity, and brain malformations can be also associated with MMR syndrome (24). [azdoc.site]

  • Abnormal Eye Movement

    People with Boucher-Neuhäuser syndrome can also have abnormal eye movements, including involuntary side-to-side movements of the eyes (nystagmus). [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Eye Pain

    In congenital glaucoma, elevated intraocular pressure causes eye pain, photophobia, and epiphora and corneal opacification, findings not observed in primary megalocornea (12). [azdoc.site]

  • Round Face

    The patients have a peculiar face by specific craniofacial anomalies: round face, wide prominent forehead, hypertelorism, broad nasal bridge, bulbous nose, wide philtrum nasolabial wide, thin elongated mouth, big and protuded ear "cup", jaw undersized [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Facial features included a round face, low frontal hairline, mild frontal bossing, broad nasal bridge, large corneas, mild hypertelorism, long upper lip, high palate, and small chin. She also had poor coordination. [omim.org]

  • Bulbous Nose

    The patients have a peculiar face by specific craniofacial anomalies: round face, wide prominent forehead, hypertelorism, broad nasal bridge, bulbous nose, wide philtrum nasolabial wide, thin elongated mouth, big and protuded ear "cup", jaw undersized [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Downturned Corners of the Mouth

    Physical features at the age of 3 years included a broad forehead, bilateral megalocorneae, bilateral epicanthic folds, a tented upper lip and downturned corners of the mouth ( Figure 4B ). [journals.plos.org]

  • Cryptorchidism

    […] feeding difficulties (4, 7, 9, 29), cerebral hypomyelination (4, 5, 14, 18), dyslipidemia (14, 24, 27), sensorineural deafness (15, 17, 27), laryngomalacia (7, 29), large, fleshy, and cup-shaped ears (6, 9, 28), cardiopathy (7, 28), obesity (6, 9), and cryptorchidism [azdoc.site]

  • Secondary Amenorrhea

    They had been treated for primary and secondary amenorrhea at the age of 20 years and neurological problems had started at the age of 30 years. [jlc.jst.go.jp]

  • Vaginal Bleeding

    Pregnancy was complicated by 7 days of vaginal bleeding at 8 weeks gestation, and persistent abdominal pain from 17 weeks of pregnancy. Due to the abdominal pain, labour was induced at 39 weeks gestation. [journals.plos.org]

  • Poor Coordination

    In addition to eye abnormalities, affected individuals may also have neurological abnormalities including diminished muscle tone (hypotonia), delays in speech development, varying degrees of cognitive impairment, poor coordination and clumsiness, and [rarediseases.org]

    Hypotonia, poor coordination and swallowing difficulties were present. One patient was obese and the other had scoliosis. Both had large fleshy ears and long fingers. The spectrum of the mental retardation megalocornea syndrome is not fully defined. [scinapse.io]

    She also had poor coordination. Santolaya et al. (1992) concluded that hypotonia is a major feature of this syndrome. Antinolo et al. (1994) reported an isolated case of megalocornea, mental retardation, and hypotonia. [omim.org]

  • Scanning Speech

    speech and cerebellar ataxia. [malacards.org]

    Systemic Features: Difficulties with balance, intention tremors, and scanning speech are evident in adolescence or early adult life. Cerebellar ataxia is present in nearly 40 percent of individuals. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

  • Profound Mental Retardation

    Clinical Characteristics Ocular Features: This rare disorder is characterized by profound mental retardation and megalocornea together with nonspecific facial features including epicanthal folds, broad nasal root, frontal bossing and antimongoloid lid [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Patients with hypoactive reflexes and glove and stocking hypoesthesia and hypalgesia will need a neuropathy workup. [checkorphan.org]

Previous workup included basic blood and urine as well as serologic, immunologic and broad metabolic studies that were all negative. Endocrine evaluation revealed prepubertal FSH, LH and estradiol levels. [epostersonline.com]

Workup Laboratory studies recommended in JS include urinalysis (for hematuria, proteinuria, defective urine concentrating capacity) and arterial blood gas ( ABG ) sampling (since hypoxia and hypercarbia in room air reflect severe restrictive lung disease [emedicine.medscape.com]

Megalocornea is also a feature of Neuhäuser or megalocornea-mental retardation (MMR) syndrome, a rare condition of unknown etiology. [journals.plos.org]

People do not experience other neurological deficits such as numbness or weakness, and if these symptoms are present, a more serious etiology, such as posterior circulation stroke or ischemia, must be considered. [en.wikipedia.org]
