Russell-Silver syndrome was reevaluated 2.9 to 13.0 years after initial diagnosis in 15 patients. At follow-up, five of the 15 patients exhibited late catch-up growth and had normal height, six had developmental delays or mental retardation, and asymmetry was present in five. Given the great variability in the long-term prognosis for growth and development in patients with Russell-Silver syndrome, there is a need to reevaluate this syndrome and its clinical implications. |
