Silver-Russell syndrome is a rare disorder that is characterised by slow growth before and after birth. Babies with this condition typically have a low birth weight and often do not grow and gain weight at the expected rate (failure to thrive). Head growth is normal, however, so the head may appear large compared to the rest of the body. In some affected individuals, one side of the body may be bigger than the other.
Beskrivning
Silver-Russell syndrome is a rare disorder that is characterised by slow growth before and after birth. Babies with this condition typically have a low birth weight and often do not grow and gain weight at the expected rate (failure to thrive). Head growth is normal, however, so the head may appear large compared to the rest of the body. In some affected individuals, one side of the body may be bigger than the other.
Affected children often have difficulty feeding. Some children develop recurrent episodes of low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Gastrointestinal problems, such as vomiting and a backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus (called gastroesophageal reflux or GERD), are also common.
Adults with Silver-Russell syndrome are typically shorter than average and may have an increased risk of developing metabolic problems such as type 2 diabetes (the most common form of diabetes). Affected individuals often have asymmetric or uneven growth of certain parts of the body, such as the arms and legs. Additional skeletal features may include an unusual curving of the fifth finger (clinodactyly), short fingers (brachydactyly), and abnormal curvature of the spine (scoliosis).
Many people with Silver-Russell syndrome have a small, triangular face with distinctive features, including a prominent forehead, a narrow chin, a small jaw, and downturned corners of the mouth.
Other features can include the delayed development of motor skills, speech and language problems, and learning disabilities.

Fetalt alkoholsyndrom
FAS is a pattern av disabilities that can develop in a baby as it grows in the womb (uterus) because the mother drank alcohol whilst pregnant and the baby is therefore exposed to alcohol before birth.

Cervikal revben
About 1 in 100 people är born with an extra rib called a cervical rib. About 1 in 10 people who have a cervical rib develop thoracic outlet syndrome. This happens if the cervical rib squashes the nerves and blood vessels going into the arm. Treatment can include painkillers, physiotherapy and sometimes surgery to relieve the compression caused.

Cri du chat-syndrom
Cri du chat syndrome is a chromosome problem caused by a missing piece of chromosome 5. The syndrome is called cri du chat (French for cry of the cat) because affected babies often have a high-pitched cry.

Nefrotiskt syndrom
Nefrotiskt syndrom is a condition where the 'filters' in the kidney become 'leaky' and large amounts of protein leak from the blood into the urine. The main symptom is fluid retention (oedema) which is mainly due to the low protein level in the blood. Various diseases can cause nephrotic syndrome, some more serious than others. The most common.
