Overview
Patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome usually appear shorter than normal. Physical examination of patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome is usually remarkable for hypoplastic mandible, micrognathia, broad nose, low set ears and clinodactyly.
Physical Examination
Appearance of the Patient
- Patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome usually appear shorter than normal.
HEENT
Findings may include:
- Hypoplastic mandible or small mandible
- Micrognathia
- Low-set ears
- Broad nose may be seen
- Dental abnormalities: Lax jaw and poor dentition.
- Hypertelorism (widely spaced eyes) may be noted on physical examination of the patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome
Heart
- Palpitations
- Syncope is usally seen in the first or second decade of the life of the patient
- Andersen-Tawil syndrome patients have a unique cardiac finding on ECG
Neuromuscular
- Periodic paralysis:[3][4][5][6][7]
- The most important clinical manifestation of Andersen-Tawil syndrome patients is periodic paralysis
- Periodic paralysis are episodic paralysis with flaccid muscle weakness
- These periodic paralysis impairs quality of life of the patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome
- Triggers often may be due to change in behavior or diet, and also due to the fact that alterations in serum potassium levels.
- Muscle weakness:[8]
- In patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome the muscle weakness occurs intermittently or spontaneously
- Muscle weakness in patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome may be occured due to prolonged rest or rest following exertion
- Patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) may experience some neurological or neurocognitive defects.[9]
Extremities
- Clinodactyly:[10]
- Fifth-digit clinodactyly
- Second and third toe syndactyly
