is a rare group of genetic conditions where individuals experience severe growth restriction, both in the womb and after birth. From as early as the fetal stage, those affected are significantly smaller than their peers. What makes PD distinct is its slow but steady growth pattern, resulting in proportionate dwarfism, where all parts of the body are equally shortened.

Unlabelled: Seckel syndrome, also commonly called Seckel dwarfism, is a rare congenital disorder and always associated with severe growth retardation . This retarded growth lingers on and causes serious developmental deformities ensuing to short stature, microcephaly, mental retardation, and a beak-like nose. This case report intends to present an interesting case of a 14-year-old female patient with various clinical manifestations, typical radiographic features, and characteristic dental manifestations correlated with the literature.

The gene encodes centriole biogenesis, replication, symmetry and cohesion, basal body organization and has recently been associated with the appearance of microcephaly syndromes. -related neurological defects including microcephaly, intellectual disability, congenital dwarfism, ophthalmic manifestations, and epilepsy are mainly due to abnormal brain development pathways and loss-of-function protein mutations. We present a consanguineous Pakistani family clinically suspected of Seckel syndrome with severe microcephaly, severe intellectual disability, short stature, absence of speech, pointed nose, narrow face and bilateral cataract in two siblings residing in the suburbs of Islamabad.
