How to treat kidney scar in a 11 years old child?
Patient: My 11 year old daughter has:- scar on kidney, duplex kidney, spina bifida occulta, autism, very tall compared to peers, very thin, fontenal was large at birth, high arched palette, growing pains (under investigation for JIA), legs not straightening, narrow ear canels, complains about blurred vision (knothing found). Do you think Marfans syndrome could cause all of this? - My husband has stretch marks all over and no muscles yet v strong, v tall, my son and husband have curved backs (hollow back), my husbands dad died from aortic anorism at 44. Doctor: i think it could a kind of genetic connective disorder called ehler danlos syndrome in your husband and son,but your daughter features are more suggestive of marfanoid type...invariably both can be evaluated and diagnosed by genetic workup and approriate management..So please meet the geneticist and community pediatrician who could alliase you with a multi disciplinary team ...Hope this helps
