Abstract
Sotos syndrome is characterized by rapid growth, although there is no evidence suggesting that it is an endocrine disorder. The cause of the disorder is unknown. A hypothalamic defect has been suggested as the cause, but none has been demonstrated functionally or at necropsy. A 12-month-old boy, admitted to our hospital with the complaints of fever and distress was diagnosed as having Sotos syndrome. The case was presented because of the rarity of the syndrome. The relevant literature is reviewed.
Özet
Sotos sendromu, endokrin bir bozukluk olmaksızın hızlı büyümeyle karakterize sebebi bilinmeyen bir hastalıktır. Hipotalamik bir defektin neden olabileceği ileri sürülmüş ise de, nekropside veya fonksiyonel olarak herhangi bir bozukluk gösterilememiştir. Bu makalede ateş ve huzursuzluk şikayetleriyle getirilen ve klinik bulgularla Sotos sendromu tanısı alan 12 aylık bir vaka nadir görüldüğünden dolayı literatür bilgileri ışığında sunulmuştur.
