Cerebellar hypoplasia-intellectual disability-congenital microcephaly-dystonia-anemia-growth retardation syndrome

What it is

A rare multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome characterized by central nervous system abnormalities (particularly cerebellar hypoplasia), congenital microcephaly, intellectual disability, severe neurodevelopmental delay, growth impairment,dystonia, eye abnormalities (particularly cataract whereas retinal dystrophy and Leber congenital amaurosis are also reported) and congenital dyserythropoietic anemia. Additional clinical features may include other structural brain abnormalities (such as cerebral atrophy, basal ganglia atrophy, brainstem hypoplasia), feeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, hepatomegaly, and sensorineural deafness.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
