What are things to watch out for?
- Congenital heart disease is common, therefore cardiologist consultation is recommended.
- Occasionally, abnormalities such as mental retardation, renal anomalies, Dandy-Walker cysts, hydrocephaly, situs inversus, and heterotopic masses of grey matter, have been reported.
- Finally, generally all skeletal dysplasias warrant multidisciplinary attention. Regular assessment by an orthopedist, geneticist, pediatrician, dentist, neurologist, and physical therapist will provide the most comprehensive treatment.
