Extractions: Soto's syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by excessive physical growth during the first 2 to 3 years of life. The disorder may be accompanied by mild mental retardation, delayed motor, cognitive, and social development, hypotonia (low muscle tone), and speech impairments. Children with Soto's syndrome tend to be large at birth and are often taller, heavier, and have larger heads (macrocrania) than is normal for their age. Symptoms of the disorder, which vary among individuals, include a disportionately large and long head with a slightly protrusive forehead, large hands and feet, hypertelorism (an abnormally increased distance between the eyes), and downslanting eyes. Clumsiness, an awkward gait, and unusual aggressiveness or irritability may also occur. Although most cases of Soto's syndrome occur sporadically, familial cases have also been reported.

Treatment of obesity in adults is notoriously frustrating for patients and physicians alike, and it rarely meets with long-term success. Thus, prevention is the best hope for decreasing the prevalence of this condition. In many obese people, the roots of their disorder can be traced back to childhood. Obesity tends to "track" throughout life, meaning that its presence at any age will increase the risk of persistence at subsequent ages. While most obese infants will not remain so, they are at increased risk of becoming obese children. These children are in turn more likely to become obese adolescents, who are then very likely to remain obese as adults. See editorial

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.
