Sotos syndrome, failure to thrive and parotitis.
Sotos syndrome is characterised by excessive pre and postnatal growth, a variable degree of learning difficulties and a recognisable facial appearance. This report highlights the difficulty in making the diagnosis where failure to thrive is the presenting feature and documents a previously undescribed association with recurrent parotitis.
