Epilepsy
March 1, 2008 Arch Ophthalmol. 2008;126(3):431-432. doi:10.1001/archopht.126.3.431 We recently encountered a case of developmental glaucoma with systemic malformations including polydactyly, retained testis, hydronephrosis, and epilepsy. [jamanetwork.com]

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

Failure to Thrive
Symptoms associated with cardiac failure may include an abnormally rapid rate of breathing (tachypnea), wheezing, an unusually fast heartbeat (tachycardia), abnormal enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly), and/or failure to thrive. [rarediseases.org]

Cardiomegaly
Maternal serum alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) screening at 19 weeks' gestation demonstrated a high level of 2·5 multiples of the median (MOM) and ultrasonography at 27 weeks' gestation showed severe intrauterine growth retardation, cardiomegaly, an occipital [obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
X-ray studies may reveal abnormal enlargement of the heart (cardiomegaly) or malformation of other heart structures. An EKG, which records the heart’s electrical impulses, may reveal abnormal electrical patterns. [rarediseases.org]

Hypertension
At 2 months of age, he was admitted to another hospital and developmental glaucoma was suspected based on findings of enlarged corneal diameter, ocular hypertension, and bilateral abnormal optic discs. [jamanetwork.com]

Hepatomegaly
Symptoms associated with cardiac failure may include an abnormally rapid rate of breathing (tachypnea), wheezing, an unusually fast heartbeat (tachycardia), abnormal enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly), and/or failure to thrive. [rarediseases.org]

Low Set Ears
The proband postnatally displayed additional abnormalities such as microphthalmia, hypertelorism, large low‐set ears, and micrognathia. [obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Corneal Edema
There were Haab striae but no embryotoxon or corneal edema in both corneas. The vertical cup to disc ratio was 0.95. The pupil, lens, retina, and vitreous appeared normal bilaterally. Trabeculotomy was performed in both eyes on the same day. [jamanetwork.com]

Enlargement of the Liver
Symptoms associated with cardiac failure may include an abnormally rapid rate of breathing (tachypnea), wheezing, an unusually fast heartbeat (tachycardia), abnormal enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly), and/or failure to thrive. [rarediseases.org]
Treatment
In some cases, treatment may include surgical repair of certain malformations. [rarediseases.org]
In conclusion, this study has demonstrated the importance of interphase FISH analysis in the identification of prognostically significant abnormalities for the implementation of stratified treatment approaches in the management of myeloma patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
The prognosis of MM patients is dependent on several factors including the patient’s age, the stage of disease and genetic alterations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Drugs such as digoxin may help to prevent irregular heartbeats and excessively rapid heartbeats (tachycardia). [rarediseases.org]
