Proteus syndrome management requires a multidisciplinary approach for orthopedic and vascular issues. Early detection of functional disturbances by a dedicated practitioner is key for optimal outcomes in children.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Developmental Biology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Proteus syndrome is characterized by hemi-hypertrophy, gigantism, vascular abnormalities, and hamartomatous tumors.
  • Dysmorphic growth leads to progressive orthopedic and orthognathic disabilities, impacting quality of life.

Observation:

  • This study details the management of eight Proteus syndrome cases, highlighting new imaging and interventional vascular radiology techniques.
  • Limb deformity correction is challenging due to elephantiasic soft tissue overgrowth.
  • Venous network absence can preclude transcutaneous occlusion; facial asymmetry is best addressed after permanent teeth erupt.

Findings:

  • Multidisciplinary management is crucial for addressing complex Proteus syndrome manifestations.

  • Advanced imaging and interventional radiology offer improved treatment options for vascular and orthopedic abnormalities.
  • Timing of interventions, particularly for facial anomalies, is critical for successful outcomes.

    • Implications:

    • A coordinated, specialized approach is essential for managing Proteus syndrome patients.
    • Early identification and management of functional disturbances by a consistent practitioner can improve long-term prognosis.
    • Aesthetic corrections should be considered after addressing functional deficits and growth stabilization.
