Hallermann–Streiff syndrome

a very rare congenital disorder marked by craniofacial anomalies, including a small, beaked nose, small eyes, and low-set ears. In many affected individuals, the skull sutures are slow to close and may remain open into puberty. Short stature and eye problems leading to blindness are common among those with Hallermann–Streiff syndrome. Intellectual disability is present in about 15% of these individuals. [reported in 1948 by Wilhelm Hallermann (1901–1976), German physician, and in 1950 by Enrico Bernardo Streiff (1908–1988), Swiss ophthalmologist]
