Neonatal progeroid syndrome (Weidman Rautenstrauch syndrome): A case report from Jammu &Kashmir, India
Author(s):
Abstract:
Neonatal Progeroid Syndrome (NPS) is a premature aging syndrome in which features of human aging are apparent at birth, including larger than normal sized head; prominent scalp veins; triangular, aged face; wrinkled skin; and decreased fat under the skin. This differentiates this syndrome from other premature aging syndromes such as Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) more commonly called "progeria" in which characteristics of premature aging typically become apparent some time after birth. Although the exact cause of neonatal Progeroid Syndrome (PS) is unknown, it is believed to be genetic and inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. Treatment is based on the individual's specific symptoms. A female one month old with features supporting a diagnosis of neonatal progeroid syndrome: Weidman Rautenstrauch Syndrome (WRS) presented to our Neonatology Ward of GB Pant Children Hospital, Srinagar-India. She had prenatal and post natal growth failure, generalized lipoatrophy, triangular face, pseudo hydrocephalous, sparse scalp hair and eye brows, prominent scalp veins and greatly widened anterior fontanelle.
