Patient's question:
My child was very small at birth, weighing less than three kilograms. I feel that my child's condition is somewhat affected by congenital factors. The current situation is a very serious case of Cri-du-chat syndrome.Doctor's answer:
Hello, small face with special features, asymmetrical round face in a state of panic; widened eye spacing, epicanthal folds, downward slanting eyes, strabismus, cataracts, and optic atrophy; wide nasal bridge, small mandible, occasional, malocclusion, low ear position, developmental abnormalities, and short neck. Cri-du-chat syndrome cannot be completely cured. The main goal of treatment for cri-du-chat syndrome is to promote early development in children, to establish as much function as possible, such as motor function, intellectual development, and life skills. The ultimate goal is to improve the child's quality of life or survival, and to promote their independent living.
