Cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome.
Cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome (COFSS) is a recessively inherited neurodegenerative disorder. We describe an 8 months old Saudi girl, a product of consanguineous parents with unremarkable pre-natal and postnatal history and birth weight 2 kg. She was having microcephaly, micrognathia, micro-ophthalmia, large low set ears, upper lip overhanging the lower lip and congenital contractures. G...
متن کاملCerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome
In this article, the author updates information on cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal (COFS) syndrome. The condition is rare, with autosomal recessive inheritance, and manifests abnormal facies, ocular changes (eg, cataracts, retinal degeneration, microcornea, optic atrophy), in utero and postnatal growth retardation, severe psychomotor retardation, cerebral and cerebellar degeneration with calcifica...
متن کاملPalatal Myoclonus (syn. Palatal Tremor).
Symptomatic palatal tremor is caused by a lesion in the triangle of Guillain and Mollaret and is associated with hypertrophic olivary degeneration that has multiple causes. Essential palatal tremor has no currently demonstrable cause and no accompanying physical or radiological signs. But it is probable that an organic genesis will become apparent. I suggest that some examples of palatal tremor...
متن کاملPalatal myoclonus--a case report.
Palatal myoclonus is usually due to a brainstem or cerebellar lesion disrupting the dentato-rubro-olivary pathway. Rarely it may be caused by a cortical lesion. The precipitating factor in 70% of all cases is an infarct. We describe an unusual case of a patient with palatal myoclonus who had an old ipsilateral cerebellar infarct and a new contralateral subcortical (corona radiata) infarct. We p...
متن کاملA familial disorder associated with palatal myoclonus, other brainstem signs, tetraparesis, ataxia and Rosenthal fibre formation.
Three siblings presented with a progressive neurological disorder beginning in the third decade of life and characterised by palatal myoclonus, nystagmus, bulbar weakness and spastic tetraparesis. There was no evidence of intellectual deterioration or seizures. CT scan showed marked brainstem atrophy in two patients and basal ganglia calcification in one. MRI scan in one showed high signal in t...
