After 6 days, the baby presented with recurrent vomiting. Thus, she was readmitted to our NICU, where an abdominal US was soon carried out. [ijponline.biomedcentral.com]
Ulnar deviation of fingers, elbow contractures and cubitus valgus were also present, but they were less prevalent than in CS. Hip and knees contractures and feet anomalies (mostly characterized by pes valgus and planus) were also present. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

Failure to thrive during infancy is typical, as are gastrointestinal complications such as reflux, vomiting, oral aversion, and constipation. [invitae.com]

Signs & Symptoms Most individuals are initially referred because of feeding difficulties (poor suck) and failure to thrive. Later, cognitive developmental delay and other clinical manifestations may be observed. [rarediseases.org]
Infants with cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome typically have weak muscle tone (hypotonia), feeding difficulties, and a failure to grow and gain weight at the normal rate (failure to thrive). [medlineplus.gov]
Treatment
Standard Therapies Treatment The treatment of CFC syndrome is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual. Treatment may require the coordinated efforts of a team of specialists. [rarediseases.org]
When necessary, surgical treatment should be performed as early as possible to allow minimally invasive or low impact surgical techniques. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
