Symptoms of Pfeiffer Syndrome in Children?
Pfeiffer syndrome, also known as infantile polydactyly or poly orthopedic syndromes, is a rare disorder that affects the hands and feet. In children, Pfeiffer syndrome is most commonly caused by mutation of a gene on the X chromosome. Symptoms of Pfeiffer syndrome typically develop during the first year of life and can include problems with joint mobility, bone growth, and facial features.
There is no cure for Pfeiffer syndrome, but treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preventing complications. Children with Pfeiffer syndrome may require special shoes and braces to help them manage their mobility and support their bones. Some children may also require surgery to correct facial features or repair joint problems.
