Abstract: A case of cerebral gigantism (Sotos syndrome) with West syndrome in a one year old male child is reported. The case had a large stature, typical facies and neurodevelopmental delay along with infantile spasms, which were refractory to treatment with valproate and clonazepam. Cerebral Gigantism (Sotos syndrome) is an uncommon syndrome of growth accelera-tion; macrocephaly, acromegaloid features and delay in neuropsychomotor development during infancy. Syndrome delineation and differential diagnosis are based on evaluation of phenotypic characteristics and evolutive history of patients. Extensive search of literature revealed only one reported case of Sotos syndrome with West syndrome till date(1). We hereby report another case of Sotos syndrome presenting with rare manifestation of West syndrome, the first such report from India.
Extractions: Sotos syndrome is not a life-threatening disorder and patients may have a normal life expectancy. The initial abnormalities of Sotos syndrome usually resolve as the growth rate becomes normal after the first few years of life. Developmental delays may improve in the school-age years, however, coordination problems may persist into adulthood. What research is being done?
