Rett Syndrome: Reporting A Case andReview in Literature by Gabriel Miranda Nava in Peer Reviewed Journal of Forensic & Genetic Sciences in Lupine Publishers.
Opinion
Rett syndrome is a disorder in children’s neurological
development characterized by an initial normal evolution followed
by the loss of voluntary use and characteristic movements of the
hands, a delayed growth of the brain and head, difficulty walking,
seizures and mental retardation. The syndrome affects almost
exclusively girls and was identified by Dr. Andreas Rett in 1966.
Case Report
Female patient of 9 years of age who is unknown the beginning
of her condition since it is the product of the penultimate feat
of 6 in total and they did not take care of her since her mother
was engaged in prostitution, a part of being beaten and sexually
assaulted. It is seen in the House of Angels in the City of Puebla
for children with mental problems. Clinically it is known from 3
years of age, time that the institution lives. Since then it is observed
with autoagresiones, psychomotor retardation and of growth, with
diminution of the cephalic perimeter, it is known that it has epilepsy
from the 6 months of age with a difficult control of its crisis as well
as an autistic behavior; the fluttering of his hands is striking in a
random, symmetrical way and even sometimes merits subjection
as it becomes self-injuring.
