  In fact, many kids who fall prey to the “Rich Kid Syndrome” (RKS) are not rich; their parents may only have average to slightly above average incomes. [awakeningminds.sg]

• Short Stature

  Short stature and mental retardation have also been noted. The hearing loss is neurosensory in type. Epidermal glycogen deposition has been found in one patient with the presumed recessive disorder. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

  The proposita was similar to the latter patients in having progressive cirrhosis necessitating liver transplantation; she also had short stature (10/35 patients) and mental retardation (3/35). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Sepsis

  Hypothermia, hypoglycemia, dehydration, acidosis, sepsis, and diarrhea with acidosis and electrolyte changes are the most common causes. [articles.extension.org]

  Aspirin has commonly been used due to concerns for coronary artery involvement, and antibiotics are routinely used to treat potential sepsis while awaiting bacterial cultures. [cdc.gov]

• Hearing Impairment

  Both hearing impairment and ophthalmic involvement were mild in severity. Genetic mutation analysis revealed a previously described, rare mutation in GJB2, resulting in a glycine to arginine change at codon 12 (p.G12R). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  It is characterized by defects of the surface of the corneas (keratitis); red, rough, thickened plaques of skin (erythrokeratoderma); and sensorineural deafness or severe hearing impairment. [diseaseinfosearch.org]

  Sensorineural deafness or severe hearing impairment is often congenital. Corneal epithelium may be affected, manifesting as keratitis and photophobia. KID/HID syndrome is an autosomal dominant trait but most cases are sporadic. [genome.jp]

• Hyperkeratosis

  The characteristic features are diffuse hyperkeratosis, keratotic plaques, reticulated hyperkeratosis on the face, peribuccal grooves, and heavy-grain leatherlike keratoderma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Typical skin changes gradually develop during infancy and include linear and spiny hyperkeratosis of the flexures, and ichthyosis-hystrix-like scaling on the limbs [4]. Scattered follicular hyperkeratosis appears on the trunk. [escholarship.org]

• Seizure

  Children with Dravet syndrome can develop many different seizure types: Myoclonic seizures Tonic-clonic seizures Absence seizures Atypical absence seizures Atonic seizures Focal aware or impaired awareness seizures (previously called partial seizures) [epilepsy.com]

  This is because the seizures happen infrequently and because most children will stop having seizures within a few months after the seizures start. [epilepsy.org.uk]

  The most common seizure patterns are tonic, atypical absence, and “drop attacks” or atonic seizures, but generalized tonic-clonic and focal seizures can occur as well. [childneurologyfoundation.org]

  Swelling may also occur in the brain, which can cause seizures, convulsions or loss of consciousness. [mayoclinic.org]

  Children with Angelman syndrome may also start to have seizures or fits around this age. [nhs.uk]

  He had been treated with penetrating keratoplasty on four previous occasions (the last time four years earlier) because of ulcers, corneal leucoma and infections caused by Candida albicans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [elsevier.es]

Treatment Treatment Options: The use of ocular lubricating preparation may supply significant relief from symptoms but scarring may eventually necessitate penetrating keratoplasty. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

The patient had significant improvement of the hyperkeratosis on the scalp, trunk, and extremities within 4 weeks after initiating treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There are two main types of clinical studies: Clinical trials determine if a new test or treatment for a disease is effective and safe by comparing groups receiving different tests/treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

DISCUSSION Due to its congenital character, treatment of KID syndrome is very difficult and only supportive. Unfortunately, due to it’s severity, skin changes are very resistant to the topical treatment with keratolytic preparations. [odermatol.com]

Based on our findings, we believe that cancer surveillance in patients with KID syndrome should include screening for pilar tumors and their early removal to avoid development of malignant proliferating pilar tumors with poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
