Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism-severe microcephaly-sensorineural hearing loss-dysmorphism syndrome

Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism-severe microcephaly-sensorineural hearing loss-dysmorphism syndrome is a rare, non-acquired pituitary hormone deficiency syndrome characterized by severe, congenital microcephaly, facial dysmorphism (highly arched eyebrows, hypertelorism, convex nasal ridge, protruding ears with underdeveloped superior antihelix crus, micrognathia), bilateral sensorineural deafness and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, in association with early feeding problems, myopia, moderate intellectual disability and moderate short stature.

Contracture of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the 5th finger

Proximal interphalangeal (PIP) flexion deformity of the little finger. That is, the PIP joint of a little finger is bent (flexed) and cannot be straightened actively or passively. It is thus a chronic loss of joint motion due to structural changes in muscle, tendons, ligaments, or skin that prevents normal movement.
