Description

Overview:

(This case study was added to OER Commons as one of a batch of over 700. It has relevant information which may include medical imagery, lab results, and history where relevant. A link to the final diagnosis can be found at the end of the case study for review. The first paragraph of the case study -- typically, but not always the clinical presentation -- is provided below.)

The patient is a 10 month-old girl who was born after a full term pregnancy via cesarean section secondary to failure to progress. The pregnancy was notable for polyhydramnios, well-controlled gestational diabetes, and decreased fetal movements late in the third trimester. At birth the baby was found to have a cardiac murmur and was mildly hypotonic, with difficulty feeding. An echocardiogram at 3 months showed mild asymmetric septal hypertrophy with possible biventricular hypertrophy, which at the time was attributed to gestational diabetes. Laboratory tests at 6 months showed elevated liver enzymes. The patient's development over time was notable for delayed achievements of new motor milestones, as well as the loss of achieved milestones.
