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]
Some affected individuals experience growth delays ultimately resulting in shortstature.[rarediseases.org]
Shortstature, 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 shortstature 155cm.[epostersonline.com]
Other hormone abnormalities lead to shortstature 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 shortstature, but not chorioretinopathy.[healio.com]
Congenital hypothyroidism was diagnosed early; at the first month, the patient was hospitalized for feedingdifficulties and severe hypotonia.[azdoc.site]

These early changes consisted of fine pigmentary alterations throughout the retina, with predominant involvement of the posterior pole and coarse pigmentation of the macula.[synapse.koreamed.org]
Progressiveloss of vision, dyschromatopsia, and photophobia are the primary ocular symptoms. Night blindness and constricted visual fields are noted by some patients. The ERG shows subnormal and sometimes absent photopic and scotopic responses.[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
At 12 years of age, he first noticed progressiveloss of vision and photophobia in both eyes. The best-corrected visual acuity was 20/200 bilaterally.[synapse.koreamed.org]
People with Boucher-Neuhäuser syndrome can also have abnormaleyemovements, including involuntary side-to-side movements of the eyes (nystagmus).[ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
The patients have a peculiar face by specific craniofacial anomalies: roundface, 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 roundface, 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]
They had been treated for primary and secondaryamenorrhea at the age of 20 years and neurological problems had started at the age of 30 years.[jlc.jst.go.jp]
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, poorcoordination and clumsiness, and[rarediseases.org]
Hypotonia, poorcoordination 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 poorcoordination. 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]
Systemic Features: Difficulties with balance, intention tremors, and scanningspeech are evident in adolescence or early adult life. Cerebellar ataxia is present in nearly 40 percent of individuals.[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]

Diagnosis and Prognosis: This is probably a stable condition although too few cases have been reported to be certain. Diagnosis requires a multidisciplinary team.[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Where this is successful, the prognosis is good. However, in 3-4% of cases, colonic perforation complicates the presentation 2 and this and its sequelae significantly increase both mortality and morbidity.[radiopaedia.org]

In fact, the largest group (BMD type 1) remains poorly characterized, since it is not associated with any particular clinical feature or etiological factor.[frontiersin.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]
