Physicians may also regularly monitor affected individuals for such infections to ensure early detection and appropriate, prompt treatment. [rarediseases.org]

In some cases, swallowing and feeding difficulties may cause food to be inhaled (aspirated) into the lungs, which may result in severe lung infections (aspiration pneumonia). [rarediseases.org]

The surgical procedures performed will depend upon the severity and location of the anatomical abnormalities and their associated symptoms. [rarediseases.org]

In some cases, swallowing and feeding difficulties may cause food to be inhaled (aspirated) into the lungs, which may result in severe lung infections (aspiration pneumonia). [rarediseases.org]

In some cases, the fibrous joints between certain bones in the skull (sagittal sutures) close prematurely (craniosynostosis), causing the head to appear abnormally long and narrow (dolichocephaly). [rarediseases.org]

Affected individuals may have unusually long, thin fingers and/or toes (arachnodactyly), permanently flexed fingers (camptodactyly), and/or excessive extension (hyperextension) of the thumbs. [rarediseases.org]

In some cases, abnormalities involving the joints, tendons, muscles, and bones (e.g., flexion contractures, malformations of the fingers and/or toes, scoliosis) may be treated with orthopedic techniques potentially in combination with surgery. [rarediseases.org]

The child had short neck, deep sternal notch and scoliosis. The scrotal sac was underdeveloped with bilateral hypoplastic undescended testis. Neurologically the child was spastic with scissoring of legs and hypertonia. [indianpediatrics.net]

Additional abnormalities typically include an unusually short neck; malformations of the fingers and/or toes; abnormal sideways curvature of the spine (scoliosis) and/or other skeletal malformations; genital abnormalities, particularly in affected males [rarediseases.org]

In addition, in some cases, electroencephalography (EEG), which records the brain's electrical impulses, may reveal brain wave patterns that are characteristic of certain types of seizure activity. [rarediseases.org]

In addition, most affected infants and children have severe to profound mental retardation. However, in rare cases (i.e., trisomy 15q25-qter), only mild mental retardation may be present. [rarediseases.org]
