Boudhina Yedes Khiari syndrome is a very rare neurocutaneous genetic disorder which is characterized by short stature, microcephaly, intellectual disabilities, tendency to have seizures, hearing loss and skin lesions. [2] [3] This disorder was first discovered in the summer of 1990 in Paris, France by T Boudhina et al., when three sisters were described as sharing the symptoms mentioned above, these symptoms were also found to have a high prevalence within their family afterwards. The suspected mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive. [4]
