✦ Synopsis

Here we report on a prepubertal boy with the Berk-Tabatznik syndrome. Manifestations included short stature, congenital optic atrophy, and hypoplasia of the cervical vertebral bodies and distal phalanges. Prognosis was adversely affected by visual and auditory difficulties. The cause of this condition remains unknown.
