Abstract

Hallermann–Streiff syndrome (HSS) is a rare disorder characterized by dyscephalia, facial, and dental abnormalities. We report the brain magnetic resonance imaging features of a 26-year-old male patient who has a past medical history significant for spastic paraplegia, vision problems, and epilepsy.
