Blepharophimosis-ptosis-esotropia-syndactyly-short stature syndrome is a very rare genetic and congenital disorder which is characterized by blepharophimosis, ptosis, V-esotropia, foot syndactyly, extra-ocular and frontal muscles weakness, low height/short stature, prognathism, and synophrys.[2][3][4]
Only six cases from three consanguineous families across the world have been reported in medical literature.[5] This disorder follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.[6]
Less commonly, anosmia, moderate intellectual disability, hypertelorism, and increased thickness of lower lips and eyebrows can also appear as symptoms of the syndrome[7]
