Eating Epilepsy Characterised by Late-Onset Epileptic Spasms in a Case of Cri Du Chat Syndrome.

Cri du chat Syndrome (CdCS; Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man [OMIM] #123450) is a genetic disorder, which is the result of a deletion on the short arm of Chromosome 5. The incidence of CdCS ranges from 1:15,000 to 1:50,000 live-born infants and the main clinical features include a high-pitched monochromatic (catlike) cry, microcephaly, a large nasal bridge, epicanthal folds, micrognathia, abnormal dermatoglyphics, and severe intellectual disability. Although infrequent, minor or major malformations of the cardiac, neurological, and/or renal systems, preauricular tags, syndactyly, hypospadias, and/or cryptorchidism may also be present.
