The possible differential diagnoses for children presenting with kyphoscoliosis, skeletal deformities and ophthalmoplegia are diverse. We present 11-year-old identical twins with these symptoms, with interesting etiological concern for those practicing in the fields of neurology, pediatrics, spine surgery and related specialties. A new presentation for a rare genetic condition was the final diagnosis for our patients. In this movement disorder round we describe our approach to this clinical constellation and discuss clinical significance of this genetic condition.

Abstract
The possible differential diagnoses for children presenting with kyphoscoliosis, skeletal deformities and ophthalmoplegia are diverse. We present 11-year-old identical twins with these symptoms, with interesting etiological concern for those practicing in the fields of neurology, pediatrics, spine surgery and related specialties. A new presentation for a rare genetic condition was the final diagnosis for our patients. In this movement disorder round we describe our approach to this clinical constellation and discuss clinical significance of this genetic condition.File in questo prodotto:
