This is due to a failure in the migration of the precursors of these cells from the neural chalk during the embryonic development and also due to other abnormalities associated(18 % of cases), in some cases involving specific polymalformation syndromes. The aim of the work is to present the clinical and nutritional evolution of a 14 months aged pediatric patient who was diagnosed with HD since was born associated with Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS). In addition,it is also targeted to evaluate the clinical results from this patient. Reviewing the medical history of the patient,the evolution of the anthropometric data (weight and height) as well as the analytical parameters for further studies were carried out. In addition, the upcoming issues associated with nutritional support and therapeutic strategies in the multidisciplinary context were evaluated. A male, 14 months aged patient, son of not consanguineous healthy immigrants parents from Colombia went to the emergency department of ...Continue Reading
