Russell-Silver Syndrome - A Story I created this article for two distinct purposes. First, I wanted to have a way to inform those who were unaware of Russell-Silver syndrome. Second, and most important, I wanted to create an informative and concise summary of Russell-Silver syndrome for parents with newly born or diagnosed RSS children. I intend this article to an overview of the syndrome. If you want more detailed information on this subject, You can research more on your own. The bibliography located at the end of this manual can get you started on the right track. If, in the course of reading this manual, you run across words you don't know, please refer to the glossary at the end. You may wish to glance over the glossary first is you are unfamiliar with medical terminology related to dwarfism and Russell-Silver syndrome. Defining Russell-Silver Syndrome When the average American thinks of a dwarf, they usually picture a person with a normal sized torso and head, but with shortened limbs, looking like the characters from the movie Willow . This type of dwarfism, known as Acondroplasia, is only one of the nearly 300 diagnosable dwarfisms known to modern medicine. Russell-Silver syndrome is another type of dwarfism, although less common. Both Dr. A. Russell and Dr. H. K. Silver first diagnosed Russell-Silver syndrome (abbreviated RSS) separately in the mid 1960's. The two doctor's findings were later combined to one diagnoses. Sometimes doctors refer to Russell-Silver syndrome as Silver-Russell syndrome. I will get into the differences in these names later.

42. What Is Russell-Silvers Syndrome? RSSKids.com provide support and information for families with children with Russel silvers syndrome. russellsilver syndrome. In 1953 and 1954, respectively, Dr russell-silver syndrome (RSS) http://www.buradley.com/rss/desc.htm

Russell-Silver Syndrome In 1953 and 1954, respectively, Dr. H. K. Silver and Dr. A. Russell independently described a special group of IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Retardation) children with short stature along with a small triangular face, low-set ears, incurved fifth fingers, and other characteristics. Their independent and varied findings were eventually determined to be a variation of the same syndrome. (A syndrome is a group of physical signs and symptoms which make up a specific disease or disorder.) As a result, the syndrome received its name. Russell-Silver Syndrome (RSS) is also known as Silver-Russell Syndrome, Silver Syndrome, and Russell Syndrome. One of the interesting and at the same time unsettling aspects of this syndrome is the very wide variation of its characteristics. Some individuals with RSS have many of the documented traits, while others have very few. Mental retardation is not characteristic of this disorder.

Alternative Names: Silver-Russell syndrome; Silver syndrome Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Genetic problems are thought to cause this syndrome, although the specific gene(s) remain to be discovered. The pattern of inheritance has not been determined, but in most cases it seems to occur without any family history of the condition. Children with Russell-Silver syndrome are born small and generally achieve less than 5 feet at adult height. Side-to-side asymmetry is fairly common. For example, a left body part may be larger than the right counterpart. This asymmetry may occur anywhere including the face. Other characteristics include excessive sweating , a small triangular face that makes the skull look large by comparison, inward curving 5th fingers, and colored spots on the skin called cafe-au-lait spots Review Date: 1/30/2003 Reviewed By: Douglas R.

Home Medi News Medical Tidbits Interesting Topics ... Manbir Mail Russell-Silver Syndrome Russell-Silver Syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder. Most cases of Russell-Silver Syndrome are the result of new genetic changes (mutations) that occur randomly for no apparent reason. A rare form of Russell-Silver Syndrome is thought to be inherited as an X-linked dominant genetic trait. The incidence of this disease is uncertain yet. Some say - The incidence are quite high, eg in the US alone 1:100 babies are born with it !!! Some features seen in this syndrome : - Growth delays, which starts before birth ( intrauterine growth retardation) Overgrowth of one side of the body (hemihypertrophy or asymmetry) Unusual characteristic facial features. Affected infants may be low birth weight. Growth delays and immature bone development continue after birth. Asymmetry or overgrowth of one side of the body is obvious at birth. Asymmetry may affect the head, trunk, arms, and/or legs.
