What are the symptoms?

Symptoms of this syndrome include orthopedic abnormalities such as short stature, curvature of the spine (scoliosis), frequent fractures of the spinal joints, hip dislocations, joint problems, curvature of the hands and feet. In some cases, symptoms such as muscle weakness and difficulty walking may also occur.

How can parents recognize it?

Symptoms of this syndrome are usually noticeable from birth. Delays in children’s growth and development, orthopedic problems or physical abnormalities may attract the attention of parents.

Do they have a type?

There are no clear subtypes of White – Sutton Syndrome. However, symptoms may vary from individual to individual and may occur with different severity.

White – Sutton Syndrome Treatment

Treatment usually focuses on symptom management and improving quality of life. Methods such as physiotherapy, rehabilitation, the use of orthotics and surgical intervention can be applied depending on the patient’s condition.

Do I need supportive devices, therapy?

Yes, in many cases treatments such as supportive devices (e.g. special shoes, supportive ankle braces) and physical therapy are recommended. This can help relieve symptoms by increasing muscle strengthening and flexibility of the joints.

In which cases and when is surgery performed?

Surgery is usually recommended in certain situations. For example, in severe scoliosis cases or hip dislocations may require surgical intervention. However, the decision for surgery should be evaluated individually for each patient.

What you need to know

Individuals with White – Sutton Syndrome may require lifelong follow-up and support. Apart from orthopedic problems, this syndrome does not usually affect individuals’ cognitive and social development. However, physical health problems affected by the syndrome should be monitored regularly. It is also important that families and healthcare professionals take a multidisciplinary approach, as the treatment of individuals with White – Sutton Syndrome often requires different specialties.
