Heimler syndrome (HS) is a rare disorder that includes sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), nail abnormalities, and enamel hypoplasia. Patients with this syndrome can also exhibit ocular manifestations. At present, only a few cases of HS have been reported, existing knowledge of this syndrome is limited, and many cases have been misdiagnosed or even missed.
