  • Title: [Seckel syndrome. Report of a case].
    Author: Colli R, Russo F, Bianchi GA.
    Journal: Minerva Pediatr; 1995 Mar; 47(3):89-91. PubMed ID: 7791718.
    Abstract:
    The paper report a case of Seckel's syndrome in a girl aged 7 years and 2 months who was referred to the authors attention due to abdominal colic. Low birth weight together with a significant delay in weight and stature increase, microcephalia with the typical bird head and considerable mental retardation were sufficient to diagnose the syndrome. Interesting analogies were observed with another case of a patient with Seckel's syndrome born to an epileptic mother receiving antiepileptic treatment which was suspended during the second month of gestation. In the case presented here, no drugs were taken during pregnancy although the mother had received antiepilepsy treatment for years.
