[Aarskog syndrome in association with mental and psychological retardation, grand mal epilepsy and tardive dyskinesia and apparent radicular paralysis of the fibular nerve in torsion scoliosis].
The case of an about 22-year-old patient with AARSKOG-syndrome is reported whose scoliosis caused a radicular impairment with resulting severe paresis of the right fibular nerve. The syndrome was also associated with moderate mental retardation, epilepsy, premature craniosynostosis and tardive dyskinesias after neuroleptic therapy because of disorders of behaviour. The risks of idiopathic scoliosis in patients with dysmorphia-retardation syndromes should be taken into consideration and such children should be supervised by an orthopaedist.
