Cognitive Development 2. Language 3. Auditory function 4. VIsuospatial function 鈥?Children have prenatal and postnatal growth delay and usually present with failure to thrive 鈥?Short stature 鈥?Poor weight gain and feeding problems 鈥?Recurrent middle ear infections. 鈥?Visual disturbances 鈥?mainly related to esotropia, cataracts and hyperopia in as many as 50% of individuals with William syndrome 鈥?Congenital heart disease and hypertension 鈥?In children 鈥?Increased urinary frequency and daytime wetting 鈥?Renal abnormalities 鈥?hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria 鈥?Delayed bone age and decreased insulin like growth factor levels may be noted. 鈥?Early pubertal onset 鈥?Glucose tolerance or overt diabetes mellitus in more than 20 years. 鈥?Subclinical hypothyroidism 鈥?Connective tissue abnormalities such as abnormal joint mobility, hemias and diverficula are possible. 鈥?Chronic abdominal pain and they are at increased risk for cardiac disease. 鈥?Mild to moderate mental retardation 鈥?Early language acquisition is delayed. The quality and affect of speech are relatively normal. 鈥?Visual 鈥搒patial problem impact daily life with difficulties in handwriting Wholesale Dante Exum Jersey , drawing and gait apraxia especially on uneven or sandy surface. 鈥?As many as half of all children with William syndrome may exhibit autism spectrum social and communicative deficits 鈥?They are overfriendly, hyperactive, inattentive and hypersensitive to loud sounds or certain types of sounds 鈥?Adults may have a high rate of emotional and behavioral problems, poor social relationship and anxiety, preoccupations and obsessions Wholesale Alec Burks Jersey , phobias, panic attacks and depression. Physical:- 鈥?Children with William syndrome are generally full-term infants with prenatal growth delay 鈥?Microcephaly is observed in 13rd of children and postnatal failure to thrive is typical Children and adult facial features:- Short upturned nose,flat nasl bridge, long philtrum, flat malar area Wholesale Jonas Jerebko Jersey , wide mouth full lips, dental malocclusions and widely spaced teeth, micrognathia and periorbital fullness. Astellate, lacy pattern of the irises can be observed in children with blu eyes. The voice may be hoase. Nails tend to be hypoplastic and the skin soft and lax; the halluces have a valgus deviation. Dental 鈥?small and peg shaped teeth, increased interdental spacing Wholesale Joe Johnson Jersey , absence of one or more primary or secondary teeth, anterior cross-bitte malocclusion and excessive gingival tissue. Other findings:-Hyperacusis(despite hearing loss), hoarse voice, joint hyperelasticity, contractures Wholesale Rodney Hood Jersey , kyphoscoliosis and lordosis.
