Infantile tremor syndrome: Infantile syndrome refers to a broad group of disorders that manifest during infancy, typically characterized by developmental delays, neurological impairments, and systemic complications. These syndromes can be caused by genetic mutations, metabolic disorders, prenatal infections, or environmental factors. Common examples include Down syndrome, Rett syndrome, and West syndrome, each presenting with unique clinical features but often overlapping in developmental challenges. Early symptoms may include poor feeding, delayed motor milestones, hypotonia, seizures, and cognitive impairment. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of clinical assessment, genetic testing, neuroimaging, and metabolic screening. Early identification is crucial for optimizing outcomes, as timely interventions such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, antiepileptic medications, and supportive care can significantly improve the quality of life. It is a case of 2 year old female child has been facing health issues for 10 months, starting after a vomiting illness. Since then, she developed body tremors (only when awake), lost developmental skills, and became unable to speak, sit, or hold her neck. She cries often without reason, crosses her hands and legs repeatedly, and passes stool 6-7 times a day. Her muscles are very weak and floppy. The condition suggests possible neurological damage or regression.
