Presentation
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]

Entire Body System
- Feeding Difficulties
They also exhibit a predominantly postnatal growth failure, a severe psychomotor retardation, with axial hypotonia and peripheral hypertonia and neonatal feeding difficulties. [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), feeding difficulties and one line in the palm of the hand formed by fusion of the usual two lines [rarediseases.org]
Musculoskeletal
- Coxa Valga
A deformity of the hip (coxa valga) and porous bones (osteoporosis) may also occur. [rarediseases.org]
- Small Foot
X-ra. studies may reveal displacement of the small foot bones between the ankle and toes (second metatarsals) and neuroimaging studies may show reduced white matter with gray matter mottling. [rarediseases.org]
Skin
- Hirsutism
Camptodactyly,Feet Vertical talus,Rocker-bottom feet,Longitudinal groove on soles,Second metatarsal posteriorly placed CHEST Breasts Widely spaced nipples GROWTH Weight Normal birth weight,Failure to thrive INHERITANCE Autosomal recessive SKIN, NAILS, HAIR Hair Hirsutism [datapunk.net]

- 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]
Treatment
Treatment Treatment is supportive and symptomatic. Individuals with the disorder often require tube feeding. Because COFS is genetic, genetic counseling is available. × Treatment Treatment is supportive and symptomatic. [ninds.nih.gov]
