Rieger anomaly

There is considerable clinical heterogeneity.  The facial gestalt, however, is said to be characteristic.  These are: triangular progeroid facies with a prominent forehead, absence of facial fat, midface hypoplasia, and hypoplastic nasal alae.  Insulin resistance seems to be a consistent feature as well and nephrocalcinosis is common.  Serum and urinary calcium may be elevated even in infancy.

Teeth are late to erupt and bone age is delayed with shortness of stature the final result in many cases.  Joints are often hyperextensible.  A neurosensory hear loss has been found in some individuals.  Notably, developmental milestones are usually timely although mild cognitive delays are rarely seen and speech may be delayed.  Inguinal hernias are part of the syndrome.
