The authors experienced a case of Hallermann-Streiff syndrome in a 6-year-old female with aphakia. The syndrome is characterized by a bird-like face, dental abnormalities, hypotrichosis, atrophy of the skin, bilateral microphthalmia, and proportionate dwarfism. A brief review of the literature was conducted.
