We report a 9-month-old boy with major features of Neuhauser syndrome, including megalocornea, mental motor retardation, hypotonia, dysmorphic findings (high-arched palate, broad nasal bridge, epicanthus), who also had additional findings such as Peters' anomaly, microcephaly, undescended testicle, patent ductus arteriosus and atrial septal defects.
