What causes club foot and delays in development?
Patient: My son was born with clubfeet and later on showed developmental delays in everything, walking at 3, still struggling very much with talking (at 4y, 3 m), sensory problems, high pain tollerance. He is getting occupational therapy to help him achieve his goals and if one look at him seems really normal and is quite affectionate. Neurologists have tested for genetic diseases, MRI scan, considered Autism - but still to today no outcome. The only thing on the MRI noted in the report was a lower diffuse peak of N-acetyl aspartame acid in his brain. We did not get answers but I suppose believed that we can only wait and hope, until yesterday when we learned that my sister law needs to make a terrible decision. Her first baby (she is 30 weeks pregnant) was noted to have agenisis of his Corpus Colossum and they now have to decide if they want to abort or raise a special needs child. Can there be a connection between the two. On Wikipedia symptoms of corpus colossum diseases show delayed development, motor and sensory problems, late potty training (only age 4!) ets. Please advise. Doctor: Agenesis of Corpus Callosum can be detected on MRI. As MRI has already been done, Agenesis of Corpus Callosum is ruled out.Developmental delay can have many different causes, such as genetic causes (like Down Syndrome ), or complications of pregnancy and birth (like prematurity or infections). Often, however, the specific cause can not be identified.If your child is responding well to occupational and behavioral therapy, future outcome will be satisfactory.
