Clinical manifestations include: neonatal and infantile central hypotonia with poor suck, improving with age; failure to thrive; characteristic facial features with dolicocephaly, narrow bifrontal diameter, almond-shaped eyes and small mouth; hypogonadism. Skull radiographs show microcrania, small sella turcica and absent frontal sinuses. CT may show slight ventricular dilatation.

Extractions: posted 10-03-2001 08:47 AM A microcephalic fetus with oligohydramnios should be managed like any other fetus with oligohydramnios. A diagnosis of microcephaly should be made when the head circumference ( and not BPD)is less than 3 SD of mean for that gestational age. Using BPD for diagnosis may give a high false positive rate becuse of normal variants such as dolicocephaly. An MRI of fetus is not really required. A careful sonographic search for other anomalies should be made. A pedigree search should be undertaken and a search fo teratogens especially alcohol abuse and congenital infections such as toxoplasmosis is recommended. Although the severity of mental retardation increases as the head size gets smaller some children may have a normal intelligence despite a small head. During labor aim for a vaginal delivery and look out for shoulder dystocia! Finally postnatally karyotyping is necessary to define a recurrence risk. Dr.SNEHALATHA

Extractions: CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS Dr.ssa Giusi Acquaviva Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ospedale Vittorio Emanuele University School of Medicine, Catania, Italy. The term Craniosynostosis identifies a pathological condition determined by the premature closure of one or more cranial sutures, before brain growth1 is complete . The result of this condition is is an evident morphological alteration of the head. The cranium is made up of a portion called the crown, another called the base and finally of the skeletal structures of the face. The crown is made up of the frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital bones. These bones are joined together by special fibrous joints which are called cranial sutures. They have the function of allowing the growth and development of the brain which doubles in volume during a childs first year of life. This allows the head to develop in a harmonious way. After, approximately, the third year of life, the cranial sutures fuse and subsequently undergo the process of ossification2. When one or more cranial sutures fuse prematurely, the brain, which presses against the skull from the inside, causes the cranium to grow in the directions allowed by the cranial sutures left open. The law of Virchow (1842) sustains that the compensatory growth of the cranium occurs in a perpendicular direction to the fused sutures.

During recent years, coincident with the recommendation to position infants supine, the incidence of posterior deformational plagiocephaly has increased dramatically. The purpose of our study was to determine whether early signs of cranial flattening could be detected in healthy neonates and to document incidence and potential risk factors.

Paediatrics, Glostrup University Hospital, Glostrup, Denmark Molecular Genetics Laboratory, Dept. Clinical Genetics, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark ponsible for this syndrome, NSD1, is located in 5q35. A real-time quantitative PCR approach subsequently confirmed that the deletion included exon 5 of the NSD1 gene. This is to our knowledge the first diagnosis of Sotos syndrome through subtelomeric FISH. Deletions of the whole NSD1 gene were originally reported by a Japanese group to be the most frequent type of mutation among persons with Sotos syndrome. Mapping of the size of the deletion by FISH is in progress. Authors Home Page Keywords Abstracts will be published by Elsevier (Annales de Génétique)
