7 Foreword More often than not, my heart sinks when I know I am to see a family with a child who has a 'syndrome'. It sinks because it is highly likely that I will not understand the cause of the syndrome, that there will be no specific treatment, that the outlook (particularly in newly-described syndromes) may be unknown and most importantly, the parents will ask me sensible and pertinent questions that I cannot answer. Only if I have special expertise in the disorder or group of disorders, will I be able to help the child as I would wish. Clearly I cannot have expertise in, or knowledge of, even a fraction of the over 2000 syndromes now described. My difficulties are, I am sure, shared to a greater or lesser extent by all who may be involved in counselling or caring for those disabled by a 'syndrome'. Many who will be responsible for providing for the child's needs, and to whom the parents may tum, may not even have any background medical knowledge. This book, written simply and concisely and in non-technical language, gives just the sort of information needed. It will be a boon to those working in Child Health in the community, in Social Services and in schools. To cover more than a small selection of the known 'syndromes' is clearly impracticable and to be always up-to-date with the latest 'discovery' in such a rapidly moving field is impossible. Dr Gilbert, with her extensive experience, has chosen wisely and much of the practical information that she gives will not date. Patients, parents and professionals will have reason to be grateful to her for having compiled this compendium on a difficult and important topic. Professor Dame June Lloyd
8 Preface Twenty extra syndromes have been added to the text, bringing the total described to 90. A number of the syndromes added have been specifically requested by readers of the first edition, to whom I give my thanks. The same criteria for inclusion have been applied as in the original text. The glossary has been substantially extended to include a greater number of perhaps more common medical terms. It is hoped that this will prove helpful to the wider readership. Where necessary, in the light of further knowledge, additions have been made to the text. Changes have also been made where the addresses of the self-help groups have altered. It is inevitable that this will repeatedly occur over the years. In cases of difficulty, readers should refer to Contacta-Family at 170 Tottenham Court Road, London, W1P OHA (Tel ), who will be able to supply up-to-date information about addresses.
9 Preface to the first edition Syndromes are part of everyday diagnosis today. The number described seems to increase weekly. Until now, few were known or documented accurately. Just what are these conditions so labelled? The Oxford English Dictionary defines a 'syndrome' as 'a concurrence of several symptoms in a disease; a set of such concurrent symptoms'. Put in simpler terms, a 'syndrome' can be described as a specific collection of signs and symptoms which when put together form a recognizable pattern which can be seen to be repeated in another individual. There are now over 2000 of these syndromes recorded. Some are incredibly rare, others uncommon, whilst others are relatively frequently seen in comparison. For example, in the latter group is Down's syndrome - wellknown to most people - with a general incidence of one in approximately every 800 births. Examples of the rarer syndromes are Hunter's and Hurler's syndromes. Both of these syndromes are only found in one child in Few doctors, nurses, teachers or social workers (unless their work happens to be with disabled children or adults) will have seen more than a handful of such syndromes. Nevertheless, with the ever-increasing number of syndromes being classified, many of these professionals could well be seeing several people with a specific syndrome during their working lives. At some time during the lives of people who have a definable syndrome, and most commonly in childhood, help in some form, be it medical, nursing, social or educational, will be needed. In the early days parents will need support, advice and counselling in order to come to terms with their child's disability, as well as the more practical aspects of care. Later in the child's life, social workers and educationalists become involved. All these professionals need accurate knowledge of each specific syndrome if they are to be fully effective in their support of families. In this book, a small number of the known syndromes are described in alphabetical order. Each section gives guidelines on the practical aspects of help that can be given. Any one of the disciplines of medicine, nursing,
10 xiv I._I P_R_E_F_'A_C_E_T_O_T_H_E_FI_R_S_T_E_D_IT_I_O_N J social work or education may be involved, but in many cases all four disciplines will have a part to play. Many of the syndromes have self-help groups which have been set up over the years, most frequently by parents who themselves have a child with the specific disorder. Contact points for these self-help groups are to be found at the end of each appropriate section. A basic outline of genetics is given in Appendix A. The effects of a disabling condition on the individual, the family and society in general are also discussed separately. Comprehensive cross-indexing is included to help the reader towards the correct syndrome. For instance, all syndromes having short stature as a characteristic are listed together, as are those syndromes in which a squint might be a factor. It is hoped that this book will prove to be of value to all professionals who are concerned with the care of disabled children. It has been difficult to limit the syndromes described to a manageable number. The main criteria involved in this choice were two-fold. First, that the syndrome will result in long-term and in many cases life-long problems of one kind or another, either mental or physical. Second, that help is available which can alleviate some of the problems and improve the quality of life. The author will be pleased to receive comments and suggestions as to possible further inclusions for future editions. Finally, my thanks are due to all the many children with a 'syndrome', and their parents, with whom I have had the privilege to work over the years.
11 Acknowledgements My thanks are due to a number of people who have given encouragement and help with the writing of this book. In particular, Dr Terry Billington has given unstintingly of her time and expertise in reading the manuscript. Without her medical and physiotherapy skills much would have been lost. Dr Peter Farndon has also found time in his exceedingly busy life to give advice on genetics for Appendix A, and for this I am in his debt. It must be emphasized that any errors in the text are entirely my own. Much gratitude is also due to Professor Dame June Lloyd for writing the Foreword to the first edition, and I would like to thank her again for her kind words and sentiments. Rosemary Morris, Senior Editor at Chapman & Hall, has been unstinting in her enthusiasm and encouragement. Without her ready availability and professional expertise, my task would have been more difficult. Finally, my thanks again to my husband who has continued to guide me successfully through the minefields of word-processing with patience and cheerfulness.
