Journal Title: Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Floating-Harbor syndrome (FHS) is an extremely rare genetic disorder characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, various skeletal malformations, delayed bone age, and expressive and receptive language delays. Children may be below average height for their age (short stature). Floating-Harbor syndrome is a rare disorder; only about 50 cases have been reported in the medical literature. The diagnosis is established by presence of a heterozygous SRCAP pathogenic variant in those with clinical findings of FHS. Early intervention programs, special education, and vocational training to address developmental disabilities; communication rehabilitation with sign languages or alternative means of communication; and behavior management by a behavioral specialist/psychologist with consideration of medication as needed. The present case report is of a two year ten month old male baby who attended the out-patient department of Kaumarabhritya of Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara College of Ayurveda and Hospital, Udupi, Karnataka, India.
