    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Weaver syndrome is a rare genetic overgrowth disorder.
    • Characterized by tall stature, distinctive facial features, and advanced skeletal age.
    • Limited case studies exist, highlighting the need for further clinical description.

    Observation:

    • A girl diagnosed with Weaver syndrome presented with bilateral pes cavus.
    • Pes cavus involves a high arch of the foot.
    • This specific foot deformity has not been previously documented in Weaver syndrome cases.

    Findings:

    • The presence of bilateral pes cavus in a patient with Weaver syndrome is reported.
    • This finding expands the known clinical manifestations of Weaver syndrome.
    • Suggests a potential association between Weaver syndrome and foot abnormalities.

    Implications:

    • This observation may aid in the earlier diagnosis of Weaver syndrome.
    • Further research is warranted to confirm pes cavus as a consistent feature.
    • Understanding the full spectrum of Weaver syndrome can improve patient management and genetic counseling.
