Dystonia is a condition whose primary feature is a tendency for the muscles of different parts of the body to contract involuntarily. This may cause slow, repetitive movements, abnormal posture, or tremors. These movements may be painful. There are three main types of dystonia: focal dystonia (affecting only one part of the body), segmental dystonia […]
Ectrodactyly is a condition where the middle parts of the hand or feet, or of both, are missing. The middle parts could include digits (finger or toes), metacarpal (the middle part of the hand where the palm is), or metatarsal (the same middle part, but of the foot, where the arch is). This gives a […]
Epicanthus is when the skin fold of the eyelid covers the inner corner of the eye. This may be the result of ancestry, aging, and health conditions including some genetic syndromes. Several genetic syndromes present with Epicanthus as a symptom- over 60% of individuals with Down syndrome, for example, have Epicanthus or folds of skin […]

Failure to thrive is defined as when an infant or child fails to grow physically, and their growth measurements are substantially below what they should be for their age and gender.

Failure to thrive in infancy (FTT) refers to children who are not gaining weight or growing at the appropriate rate for their age and sex. Children’s growth is charted by percentile, and a child may remain in a lower percentile but continue developing at the expected rate, which could simply mean that the child is […]
