Sotos syndrome
Other Names:
Cerebral gigantism Nature:
Sotos Syndrome, also known as cerebral gigantism because of the distinctive head shape and size, is a genetic condition causing physical overgrowth during the first years of life. Ironically, this rapid physical development is often accompanied by delayed motor, cognitive and social development. Muscle tone is low, and speech is markedly impaired. This is a genetic condition undetectable at birth. Its diagnosis frequently takes months or years. Broader Problems:
