Intrauterine growth retardation-micrognathia-short stature-facial dysmorphism-rhizomelic shortening syndrome

What it is

A rare multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome characterized by intrauterine growth restriction, microcephaly, short stature, rhizomelic shortening and facial dysmorphism (including prominent forehead, downslanted palpebral fissures, bulbous nasal tip, large or prominent ears and notably severe micrognathia). Developmental delay is commonly reported, intellectual disability may also be present. Additional clinical features may include genitourinary malformations in males, transient liver dysfunction, glycosylation abnormalities, giant cell hepatitis, hepatoblastoma, and cataracts. Severity of the disease varies from mild to very severe which may lead to intrauterine death or stillbirth in some cases.

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.
