Symptoma

Larsen's Syndrome

Three cases of Larsen's syndrome in siblings are presented to illustrate a paradigm for the age-related treatment of deformity. Each child presented at a different age, with differing degrees of deformity and growth disturbance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Disturbance of Growth

    Each child presented at a different age, with differing degrees of deformity and growth disturbance. Both growth and remodeling potential influenced the choice of treatment and outcome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Periodontitis

    We report here advanced periodontitis with severe gingival inflammation in a 29-year-old Larsen's syndrome patient. Bacterial culture of subgingival plaque identified the periodontal pathogens that were present in numbers above the normal range. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Short Nails

    nails 38. multiple carpal ossification center 39. wedged vertebrae 40. delayed ability to walk 41. webbed toes (2nd and 3rd toes) 42. elasticity in the skin 43. elasticity of the muscles 44. elasticity of the nerves 45. elasticity of the tendons 46. [tawnymullins77.blogspot.com]

  • Neglect

    Treatment of bilateral hip dislocations is best neglected. Finally, the spinal status of these children must be monitored throughout their life. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    The possibility of a sensorineural hearing impairment as an additional part of this syndrome has been rather neglected in the past. Method: Case report and literature review. [cambridge.org]

  • Hyperreflexia

    After anterior and posterior cervical fusion, his preoperative symptoms of weakness, gait dysfunction, and hyperreflexia have improved at 9-month follow-up. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Cervical Cord Compression

Special features in the radiologic workup should be sought after so as to plan staged surgical procedures. Conventional principles of planning of fusion levels are inadequate. Early treatment is advocated, as the neurologic compromise is reversible. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neither the natural history nor the optimal treatment of cervical spine anomalies in Larsen's syndrome has been clearly defined. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The effects of the syndrome vary markedly from person to person. Therefore, prognosis is based on the findings in a given individual. [encyclopedia.com]

The prognosis of children who have LS is variable and most affected persons have moderate symptoms that can be treated, allowing for a relatively normal life span. In severe forms of LS the prognosis can be poor. [jcnonweb.com]

Prognosis LS does not affect life-expectancy. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

What is the general prognosis for Larsen Syndrome? If Larsen Syndrome is caught early, most individuals can lead healthy lives with normal lifespans. [checkorphan.org]

[ edit ] While Larsen syndrome can be lethal if untreated, the prognosis is relatively good if individuals are treated with orthopedic surgery, physical therapy, and other procedures used to treat the symptoms linked with Larsen syndrome. [7] See also [en.wikipedia.org]

These novel congenital anomalies further support the etiology of Larsen's syndrome as a generalized mesenchymal disorder, since they arise from a defective process of embryonal induction involving mesenchymal tissue. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Their etiology is not precisely century with the first clinical recognition of known, so we have included chapters that dis symptoms and patterns for diagnosis of car cuss many aspects of congenital cardiac mal diovascular diseases. [books.google.com]

Etiology LS is due to missense mutations or small in-frame deletions in the FLNB gene (localized to 3p14.3) that encodes cytoskeletal protein filamin B. [orpha.net]

Epidemiology Larsen's syndrome with the same frequency develops both in men and in women. By very rough estimates, this disease occurs in a newborn of a hundred thousand. This, fortunately, is a rarity. [acikgunluk.net]

The surgeon who undertakes the correction or prevention of these deformities must face the problem of and, it is hoped, use, growth potential from open physes and the progressive loss of remodeling capacity with advancing age. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

How Can You Prevent SLJ Syndrome? The most important thing you can do to prevent getting SLJ is to stop doing an activity that causes pain in your knee at the first signs of irritation. Then, try to limit your activity until the pain goes away. [kidshealth.org]
