Keratoconus is a bilateral eye anomaly in which the cornea develops gradually, becoming steeper and thinner, causing irregular astigmatism and myopia. This unique case report highlights an atypical retinoscopic reflex that can be observed in the initial stages of keratoconus.

Short stature, joint hyperextension, ocular hypotension, Rieger abnormalities, and delayed tooth eruption (SHORT) syndrom is a rare primary autosomal dominant genetic disorder mainly caused by pathogenic loss-of-function variants in the phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 1 (PIK3R1) gene.

We report a case of a 69-year-old female patient who suffered from HEHE and complained of abdominal distension pain with dizziness and appetite loss for more than half a month.
