In the following list you will find some of the most common rare diseases related to Delayed speech and language development and Astigmatism that can help you solving undiagnosed cases.
Dystonia-28 is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by onset of progressive dystonia in the first decade of life. Dystonia typically begins focally in the lower limbs, resulting in gait difficulties, with later progression to other body regions, including the upper limbs, neck, and orofacial region. The severity is variable, and some patients may become wheelchair-bound. Many patients also have an elongated face with bulbous nose, and some have abnormal eye movements. About half of patients show delayed motor and/or cognitive development with mild intellectual disability (summary by Zech et al., 2016 and Meyer et al., 2017).

1p21.3 microdeletion syndrome is an extremely rare chromosomal anomaly characterized by severe speech and language delay, intellectual deficiency, autism spectrum disorder(see this term).
1P21.3 MICRODELETION SYNDROME Is also known as del(1)p(21.3); monosomy 1p21.3

Macrocephaly refers to an abnormally enlarged head inclusive of the scalp, cranial bones, and intracranial contents. Macrocephaly may be due to megalencephaly (true enlargement of the brain parenchyma), and the 2 terms are often used interchangeably in the genetic literature (reviews by Olney, 2007 and Williams et al., 2008). Autosomal recessive macrocephaly/megalencephaly syndrome is characterized by an enlarged cranium apparent at birth or in early childhood. Affected individuals have intellectual disability and may have dysmorphic facial features resulting from the macrocephaly (summary by Alfaiz et al., 2014).

Brain MRI shows pontocerebellar hypoplasia, decreased cerebral white matter, and a thin corpus callosum (summary by Mochida et al., 2012).For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of PCH, see PCH1 (OMIM ).

Additional variable manifestations include unusual behavior, with or without autistic traits, as well as ocular (e.g. strabismus, nystagmus, optic disc pallor/hypoplasia), gastrointestinal (e.g. vomiting, chronic diarrhea, constipation), musculoskeletal (e.g. scoliosis and pectus excavatum), hand/foot (e.g. long, tapered fingers) and central nervous system (e.g. slightly enlarged ventricles) anomalies.

Most patients also have gastrointestinal and mild ocular abnormalities, as well as behavioral problems (summary by DeSanto et al., 2015).
DESANTO-SHINAWI SYNDROME; DESSH Is also known as developmental delay, behavioral abnormalities, facial dysmorphism, and ocular abnormalities;
Related symptoms:
Global developmental delay-visual anomalies-progressive cerebellar atrophy-truncal hypotonia syndrome is a rare, genetic, neurological disorder characterized by mild to severe developmental delay and speech impairment, truncal hypotonia, abnormalities of vision (including cortical visual impairment and abnormal visual-evoked potentials), progressive brain atrophy mainly affecting the cerebellum, and shortened or atrophic corpus callosum. Other clinical findings may include increased muscle tone in the extremities, dystonic posturing, hyporeflexia, scoliosis, postnatal microcephaly and variable facial dysmorphism (e.g. deep-set eyes, gingival hyperplasia, short philtrum and retrognathia).
