The Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch neonatal progeroid syndrome: a case report and review of the literature.
1995
: We present the case of a post-term newborn with intrauterine growth retardation, pseudohydrocephalus, a tiny face and mouth, thin wrinkled skin, an aged appearance, lipoatrophy and a normal cranial CT scan, suggestive of the Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch neonatal progeroid syndrome. He developed hypothyroidism on day 18 due to a partial organification disorder as did a later born sib. His mental development remains normal at age 2 with delayed growth at -2.5 SD. The case is presented and discussed and the literature is reviewed.
