Extractions: November 1994 Mohammed Alhumaidi, MD Address reprint requests and correspondence to Dr. Alhumaidi: Assistant Professor, College of Medicine, King Saud University, Abha Branch, P.O. Box 641, Abha, Saudi Arabia. Accepted for publication 2 May 1994. A four-year-old Saudi male was seen in the Endocrine Clinic of Asir Central Hospital because of a voracious appetite and excessive gain in weight. On examination, he had the typical phenotypic features of Sotos syndrome which included accelerated growth with height and weight more than three standard deviations (SD) above the mean. He had coarse facial features, prominent forehead, macrocephaly, large ears, hypertelorism and aplethoric face. He was frequently aggressive with advanced bone age of five years and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain indicated widening of the lateral ventricles. He had no features to suggest other forms of overgrowth such as Marfan syndrome, McCune-Albright syndrome or homocystinuria. Endocrine causes of excessive weight gain due to pituitary or adrenal hyperfunction have been ruled out by biochemical tests, computed tomography (CT), and MRI. We document the first case report of Sotos syndrome from Saudi Arabia.

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.

Neonatology On The Web: Macrencephaly Much sporadic cases include macrencephaly with chromosomal disorder (XXYKlinefelter'ssyndrome). cerebral gigantism, Beckwith's Syndrome, and Achondroplasia. http://www.neonatology.org/syllabus/macrencephaly.html
Extractions: Macrencephaly Division of Neonatology, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California. The designation macrencephaly signifies a large brain and is a feature of heterogenous group of disorders that have not been well defined. Nevertheless, there are several entities in which the brain is generally well formed but is usually large. Sporadic, isolated macrencephaly Cerebral gigantism Beckwith's syndrome Achondroplasia Neurocutaneous syndromes Unilateral macrencephaly Although neuronal proliferation in the cerebrum is an event that occurs pricipally during the second to fourth months of gestation, it is possible that this time period is prolonged in disorders of excessive proliferation. Alternatitively, the abnormal proliferation may occur at the appropriate time during development but at an excessive rate. The clinical syndrome in the several types of macrencephaly varies from no apparent neurological defecit (e.g., autosomal dominant, isolated macrencephaly) to severe recalcitrant seizures and mental retardation (e.g., unilateral macrencephaly, autosomal recessive, isolated macrencephaly). In other types of disorder, extraneural features may dominate the clinical picture (e.g., Beckwith's syndrome, and certain neurocutaneous syndromes). Note that although macrocephaly i.e., large head, accompanies these disorders, many other causes of macrocephaly in the newborn must be distinguished, e.g., hydrocephalus, large brain secondary to such disorders as Alexander's or Canavan's leukodystrophies, subdural hematoma, and large skull as in certain congenital hemolytic anemias or cranioskeletal dysplasia.

Extractions: The camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis syndrome (CACP) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by the association of congenital or early onset camptodactyly and noninflammatory arthropathy with synovial hyperplasia, Progressive coxa vara deformity and/or noninflammatory pericardial or pleural effusions have been observed in some patients, Recently, the disease gene has been assigned to human chromosome region 1q25-q31, and truncating mutations have been identified in the megakaryocyte stimulating factor gene, Studying 12 patients from 8 unrelated families, we emphasized hip and spine involvement, particularly in the course of the disease as shown in a 58-year-old patient. Despite clinical variability, linkage studies support genetic homogeneity of the disease.

Extractions: *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Gigantism, abnormal size and stature attributable to excessive growth, such as that occurring in the immature skeleton in hyperpituitarism . When the growth plates have not yet closed, direct hormonal stimulation of endochondral bone formation takes place, leading to proportional increase of bones in both length and width. The overgrowth of bones from hypersecretion of growth hormone that occurs after the growth plates have fused is termed acromegaly ; this abnormality affects predominantly the hands, feet and lower jaw. Other forms of excessive growth include cerebral gigantism, elephantoid hypertrophy of an entire limb or finger in neurofibromatosis , local soft tissue and bone gigantism in Klippel Trenaunay Weber syndrome macrodystrophia lipomatosa and lipoatrophic diabetes . The radiographic differential diagnosis of localized gigantism includes both congenital and acquired causes. The latter include dactylitis secondary to infection, trauma, infarction
