Extractions: Dubowitz Syndrome is a very rare developmental disorder characterized by growth retardation, short stature, and unusual facial and physical characteristics. Symptoms may develop while the fetus is still in the uterus (intrauterine) or immediately after birth (neonatal). Physical characteristics associated with Dubowitz Syndrome include a high nasal bridge, underdevelopment of the bony ridges above the eyes (supraorbital ridges), widely spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism), and/or droopy eyelids (ptosis). Affected children typically have patchy areas of itchy red skin (eczema) on their face, knees, and elbows.

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Dubowitz syndrome is a very rare genetic and developmental disorder involving multiple congenital (inherited) anomalies including but not limited to: (1) growth failure/short stature; (2) unusual but characteristic facial features; (3) a small head (microencephaly); (4) mild (usually) mental retardation; and (5), in at least 50% of the cases, eczema. Multiple organ systems are affected and the disorder is unpredictable and extremely variable in its expression. Symptoms may be detected while the fetus is still in the uterus (intrauterine) as well as immediately after birth (neonatal). Facial appearance is a key to the diagnosis, with characteristic high or sloping forehead; sparse hair; flat, undeveloped (hypoplastic) bones above the eyes (supraorbital ridges); increased distance between the eyes (ocular hypertelorism); drooping eyelids (ptosis); sparse (hypoplastic) lateral eyebrows; very small lower jaw (micrognathia) and receding chin (retrognathia). Affected children are often hyperactive, stubborn and shy.

Extractions: Minnie Woolsey a.k.a. Koo Koo, the Blind Girl from Mars, was born in 1880 and was afflicted with "bird-headed dwarfism", also called Seckel's syndrome, nanocephaly, or Harper's syndrome. Other individuals with nanocephaly included Caroline Crachami, the "Sicilian Fairy" (1815-1824) and Nicholas Ferry (1741-1764), the king of Poland's court dwarf. Seckel's syndrome is a form of intrauterine dwarfism (symptoms present before birth) that causes proportional short stature, beak-like nose and large ears, absence of hair and teeth, mental retardation, and joint and limb defects such as clubfoot. Koo Koo, additionally, was blind, and her act included staring into space, not responding to anything around her. Koo Koo appears in Freaks in the brief but memorable scene in which she dances on the table before the wedding feast. I don't know when Koo Koo died, but according to some accounts, she was still alive in 1960, making her at least 80 years old. "I knew Koo-Koo, the Bird Girl. She was a tiny woman with a round body and skinny legs and a gigantic nose like a beak. She actually did look like a bird. But her elevator didn't go all the way to the top floor, you know?" - Melvin Burkhart Betty Green >>

Extractions: Clinic of Neonatology, University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland We present the case of a girl with suspected Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS). SRS is a rare, clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder involving intra-uterine and post-natal growth retardation with a wide spectrum of additional dysmorphic features. Because of the clinical heterogeneity, diagnosis can be rather subjective and is not always easy to confirm. Case presentation The girl, third child of a 30-years-old mother, was born prematurely at 31 6/7 weeks of gestation by caesarean section because of a pathologic CTG. Intrauterine growth retardation had been diagnosed at 26 6/7 weeks of gestation. At that time, amniocentesis and TORCH serologies were performed with inconspicuous results.
