PROGEROID SYNDROME

Report of a Case of Pseudo-Senilism

Herbert J. Grossman M.D.1, Samuel Pruzansky D.D.S.1, and Ira M. Rosenthal M.D.1

1 The Department of Pediatrics and the Cleft Palate Center of the University of Illinois College of Medicine.

The case of a severely dwarfed microcephalic child is reported whose growth disturbance probably began in utero. Serial cephalometric studies were done and are reported. No explanation could be found for her condition, and no similar case can be found in the literature. The superficial resemblance of the child to an aged person warrants the classification of her condition with a miscellaneous group of cases under the term "progeroid syndrome," but it must be noted that her appearance was the result of a severe growth disturbance rather than of true premature aging.
