چکیده
DEFINITION Cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) syndrome is a relatively rare genetic disorder first described by Reynolds et al. in 1986 based on the observation of eight unrelated patients with very similar facial appearance characterized by unusually sparse, brittle, curly hair, large head (macrocephaly), a prominent forehead, and abnormal narrowing of the sides of the forehead (bitemporal constriction); mental retardation; failure to thrive; congenital heart defect; short stature and ectodermal abnormalities.

In a patient with cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome complicated by intractable infantile spasms (West syndrome), cardiac hypertrophy developed during adrenocorticotropic hormone treatment. Various types of antiepileptic drugs, intravenous immunoglobulin, thyrotropin releasing hormone, and a ketogenic diet were ineffective in this case.
