Costello syndrome is a rare genetic disorder causing congenital anomalies, including distinctive facial features and skin abnormalities. Early diagnosis is crucial for managing associated health risks like developmental delays and malignancies.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Pediatrics
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Costello syndrome is a rare multiple congenital anomaly syndrome.
  • It is characterized by distinctive facial features, loose skin, joint laxity, and cardiac abnormalities.
  • Affected individuals have increased risks for developmental delays and malignancies.

Observation:

  • A 7-year-old male presented with typical Costello syndrome features.
  • Clinical observations included abnormal facial features, arrhythmia, mitral valve dysfunction, and growth retardation.
  • Cutaneous examination revealed lax, pigmented skin, deep creases, acanthosis nigricans, and curly hair.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the characteristic presentation of Costello syndrome in a pediatric patient.
  • The findings emphasize the importance of recognizing specific dermatological and cardiac signs.
