Congenital muscular dystrophy-like changes were present in this patient. It is debated whether the clinical spectrum of the COFS phenotype should be expanded to include congenital muscular dystrophy:[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In this report, we present evidence that two probands related to the Manitoba Aboriginal population group within which COFS syndrome was originally reported have cellular phenotypes indistinguishable from those in CS cells.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Alwadhi and Pankaj Garg Summary points: A seven-day-old with microcephaly with facial dysmorphism is presented.[docguide.org]
The clinical, radiological and pathological features of the patients are presented. One of the two cases had 11 pairs of ribs (Case 1) and the other had three-lobed left lung (Case 2), neither of which has been described in COFS syndrome previously.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
All three patients present the cardinal features of COFS syndrome including extreme microcephaly, congenital cataracts, facial dysmorphism and arthrogryposis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
They also exhibit a predominantly postnatal growth failure, a severe psychomotor retardation, with axial hypotonia and peripheral hypertonia and neonatal feedingdifficulties.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Other features of this disorder include wide-set nipples, failure to thrive, slowed growth (developmental retardation), lack of muscle tone (hypotonia), feedingdifficulties and one line in the palm of the hand formed by fusion of the usual two lines[rarediseases.org]

TreatmentTreatment is supportive and symptomatic. Individuals with the disorder often require tube feeding. Because COFS is genetic, genetic counseling is available. TreatmentTreatment is supportive and symptomatic.[ninds.nih.gov]
Treatment - Cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome Treatment for COFS syndrome involves supportive care and is based on an individual's symptoms. People with this condition often require a feeding tube to obtain adequate nutrition.[checkorphan.org]

Diagnosis and treatment The condition is diagnosed by the presence of the typical physical characteristics, and the unusually slow growth. Confirmation is by molecular genetic testing.[news-medical.net]

Counseling should include information on the diagnosis and prognosis (antenatal, intrapartum, postnatal, and long term), and information regarding future pregnancies. 65, 66 The fetus diagnosed with PSS has a poor prognosis.[dovepress.com]

They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types.[orpha.net]
Numerous etiologies are responsible for patho- logic intracranial calcifications [7, 10]. Tumors, some cerebral inflammatory diseases, vascular abnormali- ties and old intracranial hemorrhages are the most usual etiologic factors [7, 10].[myslide.es]
