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

Facial dysmorphia. The mouth is small(purple arrow), the ears have low implantation(yellow arrow) and the nose ridge is broad(blue arrow). Case courtesy by Stéphane Burtey et al^[1]

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

Characteristic deformity of hand. A: patient's right fifth finger showing clinodactyly (arrow). B: patient mother's left fifth finger also showing clinodactyly (arrow). Case courtesy by Jung Yoon Pyo et al^[11]
