Can Greig Cephalopolysyndactyly Syndrome Cause Abnormal Development In Head In Infants?
my child has Greig Cephalopolysyndactyly Syndrome. His fingers and toes are fused (only the skin) but i am more worried about his head. He is 10 months old and to oook at he looks like any normal baby. My question is; what is the likelihood of his head developing abnormally as he grows up.

Hi... I have gone through the syndrome which you have referred in detail. Large head and sutural malformations very common. At the same time there is no way to predict which child will have all the symptoms or which child can in future develop these symptoms.
There is no medical test or specific investigation which can predict the possibility of abnormal head in this particular syndrome.
