Growth delays continue after birth (postnatal) resulting in short stature (dwarfism). Other symptoms and physical features associated with Seckel Syndrome include an abnormally small head (microcephaly); varying degrees of mental retardation; and/or unusual characteristic facial features including "beak-like" protrusion of the nose. Other facial features may include abnormally large eyes, a narrow face, malformed ears, and/or an unusually small jaw (micrognathia). In addition, some affected infants may exhibit permanent fixation of the fifth fingers in a bent position (clinodactyly), malformation (dysplasia) of the hips, dislocation of a bone in the forearm (radial dislocation), and/or other physical abnormalities. Seckel Syndrome is thought to be inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait.

In disharmonic dwarfism, he diagnosis can often be established by clinical phenotypic features. Among the causes of disharmonic dwarfism, achondroplasia presents particular features that merit neuroradiological investigation and these are discussed in their specific sections (see achondroplasia ).

Seckel's syndrome Also known as: Harper’s syndrome Seckel's bird head syndrome Seckel's nanism Virchow-Seckel syndrome Synonyms: Bird-headed dwarfism, birdlike face syndrome, microcephalic primordial dwarfism, nanocephalic syndrome, nanocephaly syndrome. Associated persons: Rita G. Harper Helmut Paul George Seckel Rudolf Ludwig Karl Virchow Description: An intrauterine form of dwarfism characterized by proportional short stature, reduced circumference of the cranium, a characteristic bill-like protrusion of the central area of the face with microcephaly, prominent sometimes beaked nose, large ears, sparse hair, joint defects, clubfoot, trident hands, absence of some teeth, cloacalike malformation of genitourinary tract and rectum, mental retardation and sweet disposition. A small, simplified cerebrum resembles the chimpanzee brain (pongidoid microcephaly. There is a reduction in the number of blood cells. Both sexes affected; present at birth. Inheritance is autosomal recessive. There has been described a case in which all the features of the syndrome were present, but not the dwarfism. This could be an incomplete form or a variant of the syndrome.

In some cases physical development may be disproportionate, as in achondroplasia, but in others the parts of the body develop proportionately. Short stature may be unaccompanied by other symptoms, or it may occur together with other problems, both physical and mental. Adult males under 5 ft (1.5 m) tall and females under 4 ft 8 in (1.4 m) are classified as short-statured. Children are considered unusually short if they fall below the third percentile of height for their age group. In 1992 there were about five million people of short stature (for their age) living in the United States, of which 40% were under the age of 21. Some prenatal factors known to contribute to growth retardation include a variety of maternal health problems, including toxemia, kidney and heart disease, infections such as
