Rett syndrome, congenital variant

Summary

Excerpted from the GeneReview: FOXG1 Syndrome
FOXG1 syndrome is characterized by moderate-to-profound developmental delay and intellectual disability, postnatal growth deficiency, congenital or postnatal microcephaly, hyperkinetic/dyskinetic movement disorder, hypotonia, neurobehavioral/psychiatric manifestations (motor stereotypies, impairment of social interaction, abnormal sleep patterns, unexplained episodes of crying, restlessness, and bruxism), feeding difficulties with poor weight gain, strabismus, seizures, spasticity, gastroesophageal reflux, and aspiration. Some individuals have cortical visual impairment, kyphosis, scoliosis, and/or abnormal breathing. Characteristic neuroimaging findings include corpus callosum anomalies (especially a marked, filiform thinning of the rostrum of the corpus callosum), a simplified gyral pattern, and hyperplasia of the fornices.
