Abstract
Winchester syndrome (WS) is a rare genetic disorder with a handful of cases reported to date. We report a 14-year-old male who presented with growth retardation, contracture of left lower limb due to thick indurated skin, hypertrichosis, and bilateral corneal opacity. There was complete improvement in joint contracture with oral betamethasone pulse and weekly oral methotrexate.
