An unusual case of Zimmermann-Laband syndrome in a young male child with an unreported association of bilateral developmental cataract is presented. The pathognomonic triad of gingival fibromatosis, aplastic or hypoplastic distal phalanges with absent nails, and enlargement of soft tissues of the face were obvious, besides the known moderate learning disability and mild hearing loss. The case is discussed in the light of relevant literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of early developmental cataracts in association with the Zimmermann-Laband syndrome. Besides detection and timely recognition of the syndrome to allow adequate dental care, ophthalmic screening at periodic intervals is merited to improve the overall quality of life for these patients.
