Abstract

Hunter syndrome or mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type II is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by a defect in the
metabolism of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). We present a rare case of MPS with a typical presentation of coarse facies, short stature, mild mental retardation and absence of corneal clouding. His radiographic findings were suggestive of MPS and diagnosis was confirmed by demonstrating deficient Iduronate-2-sulphatase enzyme in plasma. We present this case to highlight the distinctive manifestations as well as radiological and definitive diagnostic findings of the Hunter syndrome.
