Urban-Rogers-Meyer syndrome, also known simply as Urban syndrome, is an extremely rare congenital disease, one reported in only two cases. Urban et al. (1979) was the first to describe the disease.[1][2] It is characterized by genital anomalies, mental retardation, obesity, contractures of fingers, and osteoporosis[2], though further complications are known.[3][4]
