Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. A syndrome is just a thematic grouping of diseases or ailments of similar nature. Although there is no defined syndrome of this kind, the association is known and explored. In other words, it is indeed a syndrome in its own right.
