However, hypomyelination and the facial features of typical CS patients are not present. Diagmosis and Treatment COFS is usually diagnosed at birth. [disabled-world.com]

Both syndromes present a strong overlap with COFS syndrome [18]. [bmcmedgenomics.biomedcentral.com]

COFS syndrome affects both females and males from all ethnic groups and symptoms are present at birth. This is a very rare syndrome and the exact number of cases in the UK is unknown. [medic8.com]

Cyanotic acral edema was present in 75% of our patients, a finding not previously reported in CS. [jamanetwork.com]

• Accelerated Growth

  For 5 children, the dystrophy consisted of an exaggerated curvature of the nail plate; for 2, accelerated growth of the nail; and for 2, distal onycholysis with hyperkeratosis. [jamanetwork.com]

• Cyanosis

  Acral cyanosis with slight peripheral edema, which to our knowledge has not been previously reported, was present in 75% of the patients with CS. [jamanetwork.com]

• Acrocyanosis

  A neurologic cause was suspected because vascular complications of paralyzing neurologic disorders are well known to practitioners, although they have been rarely reported.14 These vascular complications consist of cold and edematous feet with acrocyanosis [jamanetwork.com]

• Skin Lesion

  Seven patients developed skin lesions on sun-exposed skin: more than 5 pigmented macules in 7 patients and stellate scars in 1 patient. We noticed pigmented macules and stellate scars in 1 patient. [jamanetwork.com]

• Cutaneous Manifestation

  manifestations constitute one of the major symptoms leading to clinical suspicion of nucleotide excision repair disorders. [jamanetwork.com]

• Thin Skin

  When patients with CS grow older, the fat surrounding their eyes is progressively reduced, leading to sunken eyes, and the skin becomes thin. Thin skin predominates on temporal areas, with abnormal visualization of veins. [jamanetwork.com]

• Purpura

  Alopecia, dermo-epidermal atrophy (“cigarette paper” skin), thin transparent skin, stellar scars, telangiectasis, Bateman purpura, and other signs suggestive of cutaneous aging were recorded. [jamanetwork.com]

• Koilonychia

  Dysplasia, splitting (onychoschizia), koilonychias, ridging, thickening (onychogryphosis), yellow discoloration, brittle nails, hypoplasia, and unguis inflexus were noted in large reviews of trichothiodystrophy and occurred in 63% of the patients,15 but [jamanetwork.com]

• Large Feet

  Ozdirim et al13 described large feet and hands in 14 of 25 patients (56%) but did not mention edema. In the present study, edema was cyanotic with increased visibility of veins because of skin atrophy. [jamanetwork.com]

• Suggestibility

  Mutations in the same gene are responsible for Cockayne type B syndrome (133540) and some suggest that the variable phenotype represents a spectrum of disease rather than individual entities. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

  We suggest including a detailed assessment of the fetal eyes and lenses when the presence of limbs abnormalities raises the suspicion of AMC. [bmcmedgenomics.biomedcentral.com]

  The neuropathological changes, previously not well documented, suggest that COFS syndrome is associated with a degenerative process that begins in utero and affects many brain cell types. Similarities to Cockayne syndrome are discussed. [academic.oup.com]

  Alopecia, dermo-epidermal atrophy (“cigarette paper” skin), thin transparent skin, stellar scars, telangiectasis, Bateman purpura, and other signs suggestive of cutaneous aging were recorded. [jamanetwork.com]

• Denial

  A lack of sufficient medical evidence may result in approval delays or a denial of your Social Security Disability claim. [disability-benefits-help.org]

• Liver Biopsy

  Endotracheal intubation was done via sevoflurane combined with nitrous oxide in this patient who was scheduled for liver biopsy, and the procedure lasted for 13 min. We did not use muscle relexants in induction and maintenance of anesthesia, too. [scielo.br]

However, reduced fetal movements and the fixed fetal position may prevent the study of these anatomical regions by ultrasound and misguide in the diagnostic process, while fetal MRI could increase the diagnostic accuracy of these defects [16, 17]. [bmcmedgenomics.biomedcentral.com]
