We present the case of a 3-year-old boy with post-natal growth failure, microcephaly, developmental delay, facial dysmorphism, an evolving pigmentary retinopathy, pituitary hypoplasia, micropenis, and growth hormone (GH) deficiency. He has a microcephalic osteodysplastic slender-bone disorder with disharmonic delayed osseous maturation, most closely resembling patients with microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II (MOPD II). Intrauterine growth retardation, a universal finding in the MOPD II, was absent in our patient.
