Question 1

can pallister killian syndrome be cured?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: I think you mean foster kennedy syndrome in which an enlarging brain tumor obstructs one optic nerve causing atrophy to that nerve, and also causes elevation of the pressure in the brain causing optic nerve edema (papilledema) in the other nerve.  This is a rare circumstance which requires immediate attention by a neuro-ophthalmologist or neurosurgeon.

Question 2

is pallister killian syndrome curable?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, no.: Pallister-killian syndrome is a rare condition where some cells in the body have an unusual, extra chromosome (mosiac isochromosome 12p). This abnormal chromosome, present before birth, affects the growth and development of the whole body throughout one's lifetime, usually resulting in birth defects and mental retardation. See http://ghr.Nlm.Nih.Gov/condition/pallister-killian-mosaic-syndrome.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Pallister-killian syndrome is a rare genetic condition caused by a chromosomal rearrangement that may cause birth defects, like cleft palate.

Developmental pace: At young ages faster and slower developmental paces can be related to lots of different things.  A developmental pediatrician can check his developmental level and give you recommendstions of activities to help support his development at his natural pace.  Don't worry.

Question 8

do people ever predict if my children will have asperger's syndrome?

Accepted Answer

No: As a phenomenologically defined entity, and considering that no reliable universal genetic marker was identified, it is impossible to predict with any level of certainty as of now. What is possible though is the diagnostic evaluation of a kid already exhibiting behaviors.

Question 9

how typical are micropsia and alice in wonderland syndrome in children?

Accepted Answer

No good data: This is not quite rare, but also not common. It is more often reported in children but can occur at any age. It is not a mental illness, but a physical perceptual distortion and is usually not part of a dangerous condition. It may be associated w/ migraines or tle and a neurologist might help. Try not to worry about 'craziness' - it is not that. Wish i could offer #s, but i can't.

Very rare: This syndrome, where objects or the person's own body appear larger or smaller than normal, is very rare.  Some sources say only about 300 adults & children in the us have this.

It can be a migraine equivalent, & can also appear in conditions like seizures, CNS infections, brain tumors, drug use, macular degeneration, etc.
