Presentation
The patient presented with persistent headaches and a 2-year history of progressive hand, arm, and face numbness. [thejns.org]
If the occipitofrontal head circumference present at birth is less than this value, the diagnosis of Seckel syndrome is confirmed. 3. [icliniq.com]
I will detail the clinical presentation of this disorder; contrasting it to the other overlapping MPDs, and describe current models underlying the molecular pathogenesis of the associated genetic defects, highlighting their inter-related and associated [oxfordmedicine.com]
The objective is to present two unrelated patients with a 10-year-old male and female patients with Meier Gorlin syndrome type 1, the latter being the second report in the Mexican population. [go.gale.com]

Skin
- Hirsutism
In addition, affected children may have increased body hair (hirsutism). Another possible feature is a single, deep crease across the palms of the hands (single palmar crease). [rarediseases.org]
Urogenital
- Cryptorchidism
Defects of bones in the arms and legs, dislocations of the elbow and hip, and inability to straighten the knees are all common as is (in boys) failure of the testes to descend into the scrotum (cryptorchidism). [medicinenet.com]
Achondroplasia Cryptorchidism Dislocations of pelvis and elbow Pancytopenia Mental retardation mild to moderate. Other skeletal abnormalities such as clinodactyly (fifth finger fixatedin a bend position permanently) and clubfoot are sometimes seen. [wikidoc.org]
Males with Seckel syndrome may have testes that do not lower properly (cryptorchidism). Affected females may have a large clitoris (clitoromegaly). In addition, affected children may have increased body hair (hirsutism). [rarediseases.org]
Treatment
All mitotic cells in Figure 3 have been obtained following 24 h treatment with 1.5 µM nocodazole, the same treatment used to examine for NF cells. Figure 4. [academic.oup.com]
The patient died 1 year later of complications related to treatment of a rapidly progressing intracranial aneurysm. This report documents the first case associating moyamoya and Seckel syndromes. [thejns.org]

Etiology
Discussion and conclusion: Recognizing and giving multidisciplinary follow-up will help to know the etiology of the disease, as well as its evolution, management and genetic counseling. [go.gale.com]
Etiology[edit | edit source] Seckel Syndrome is a rare genetic condition that is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Listed below are multiple variations of Seckel Syndrome caused by gene mutations on multiple chromosomes. [physio-pedia.com]
