I. Sugarman, E. T. Heuser and W. B. Reed A 14-year-old boy, who had the physical and neurological characteristics of cerebral gigantism (Sotos syndrome), developed hepatocarcinoma. This tumor is rare in children and has never, to our knowledge, been recorded in a patient with cerebral gigantism. An autopsy was performed, the first we are aware of in a patient with cerebral gigantism without increased size in ventricles.

The term cerebral gigantism was first applied by Sotos, et al. to five children with a syndrome characterized by gigantism, a non-progressive neurological disorder with mental retardation, typical facies, and a high arched palate. Pneumoencephalography in three patients revealed a dilated ventricular system. Nine further cases have been documented. In this study

Studies are reported of 10 children having physical findings previously reported in cases classified as showing cerebral gigantism. These findings included mental retardation; advanced height, weight, and bone age; and a characteristic facies. Six had pneumoencephalography and all showed communicating hydrocephalus. Karyograms were normal. Urinary 17-KS steroid excretion was increased for chronologic age, but levels were

Extractions: Study Design: This retrospective study reviewed five patients with scoliosis associated with cerebral gigantism (Sotos syndrome). Objective: To clarify the clinical characteristics and progression of scoliosis in patients with cerebral gigantism. Summary of Background Data: Little has been reported about spinal deformity in this syndrome. Methods: The records and radiographs of five patients were reviewed. Results: Scoliosis was first noticed at the age of 5 years in one case and at 6-16 months in the others. Their curve patterns were not consistent. Cobb's angles increased rapidly by 4 years of age and after 8 years of age despite attempts at bracing. Conclusions: Excessive growth in infancy and growth-spurt period after 8 years of age may be related to the rapid progression of scoliosis in the same period. (C) Lippincott-Raven Publishers.

Extractions: Home Genes Leukemias Solid Tumours ... NA Identity Other names Cerebral gigantism Sos Inheritance Generally sporadic, a few inherited cases. The familial case reported in 2003 was proved to have NSD1 mutation Clinics Phenotype and clinics Excessive growth, advanced bone age, typical facial gestalt,developmental delay. In infancy growth is rapid, but settles down above the >97th centile in early childhood. The adult height remains close to normal. Large hands and feet Characteristic facial gestalt: macrocephaly (>97th centile), frontal bossing, prognathism, hypertelorism, and antimongoloid slant of the palpebral fissures Occasional hypotonia and delay in motor and language development Cardiac, urogenital, musculoskeletal, and ophthalmologic anomalies are observed. Neoplastic risk Relatively high. Neoplasms in SoS are found with a frequency of 2.2-3.9% Cytogenetics Inborn conditions Routine chromosome analysis usually shows normal karyotype. Chromosomal abnormality concering 5q35 were reported. In addition, several chromosomal translocations other than 5q have been published. Genes involved and Proteins Gene Name Location Note Haploinsufficiency of NSD1 is a major cause of SoS.

Cerebral gigantism, cerebral gigantism in childhood, constitutional gigantism, gigantismus cerebralis, gigantismus constitutionalis, gigantismus idiopathicus, hypothalamic gigantism, macrostomia-mental retardation syndrome, mental retardation-overgrowth sequence, pituitary gigantism, prenatal gigantism with macrocephaly. A syndrome of excessive growth during the first 4 to 5 years of life, with cerebral gigantism and generalised large muscles in childhood, acromegalic features, and a nonprogressive cerebral disorder with nonprogressive mild mental retardation and defective coordination. After early childhood growth seems to approach normal, remaining, however, two standard deviations above means for chronological age. Birth weight and length greater than normal. Other principal features are dolicocephaly, macrocrania, hypertelorism, antimongoloid palpebral slant, high-arched palate, frontal bossing, mandibular prognathism, and precocious dentition. Occasionally, obesity, convulsions, abnormal dermatoglyphic pattern. Both sexes. Most cases are sporadic but some are transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait.
