Sheldon-hall syndrome

Sheldon-Hall syndrome is a rare multiple congenital contracture syndrome. It is known for causing contractures in the distal joints (such as those in the hands and feet), which can limit movement. In addition to joint issues, people with this condition often have distinctive facial features including a triangular face, downslanting palpebral fissures, a small mouth, and a high arched palate. These features help in recognizing the syndrome among other congenital conditions, and the pattern of joint and facial features is key to understanding what the syndrome involves.

Common signs of Sheldon-Hall syndrome include contractures of the distal joints in the limbs. In addition, people with this condition may have specific facial features such as a triangular face, downslanting palpebral fissures (the openings between the eyelids), a small mouth, and a high arched palate.
