The 20 Best Cockayne Syndrome Doctors Near Me in hollywood, FL

Cockayne syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by an abnormally small head size (microcephaly), an inability to gain weight and grow at the expected rate (faltering weight), very short stature, and delayed development. The signs and symptoms of this condition are usually apparent from infancy, and they worsen over time. Most affected individuals have an increased sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity), and in some cases even a small amount of sun exposure can cause a sunburn or blistering of the skin. Other signs and symptoms often include hearing loss, vision loss, severe tooth decay, bone abnormalities, hands and feet that are cold all the time, and changes in the brain that can be seen on brain scans.
