We present an 18-month-old Pakistani girl who had short stature, craniofacial dysmorphism, and multiple cafe-au-lait spots. After consultation with the geneticists, microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II was diagnosed (MIM210720). The presence of consanguinity in reported families is suggestive of autosomal recessive inheritance.
