SANTANA HERNANDEZ, Elayne Esther. Russell-Silver syndrome. Presentation of a case. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2018, vol.40, n.3, pp. 784-789. ISSN 1684-1824.
ABSTRACT The Russell-Silver syndrome is a low-frequency genetic disease, characterized by a pre-natal growth retardation and postnatal digital and facial dysmorphia, and also body asymmetry. We present a female patient, aged 2 years, who was remitted to the consultation of Clinical Genetics because of a retardation in the psychomotor, height-weight development, facial dysmorphia and body asymmetry. The disease was clinically diagnosed. It is important to arrive to a precocious diagnosis for the early stimulation, multidisciplinary follow-up and adequate genetic advice to the relatives.
