1Department of Pediatrics, Rafic Hariri University Hospital, Bir-Hassan, Jinah, Beirut, Lebanon. femiah@yahoo.fr.
Background:
Pallister-Hall syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant, genetic disorder characterized by different congenital abnormalities: hypothalamic hamartoblastoma, bifid or shortened epiglottis, polydactyly, renal anomalies, and imperforate anus.
Case Presentation:
In this case report, we describe the case of a 13-year-old Lebanese-Armenian boy born with Pallister-Hall syndrome showing newly associated manifestations (orofacial narrowing and tethered cord), and currently showing a spontaneous puberty with normal growth pattern following management with growth hormones.
Conclusions:
This case report shows a practical approach to this very rare syndrome, mainly with testosterone and growth hormones, and its follow-up in the long term. Being familiar with such cases may allow improvement of our knowledge for better management in the future.
