Failure to thrive is a common presenting problem in the pediatric population in both resource-abundant and resource-poor countries. While epidemiology may vary by region, inadequate caloric intake remains the most common cause of FTT in both developed and developing countries, and poverty is the greatest risk factor for FTT worldwide.
Citrin deficiency has four primary phenotypes that are age dependent. These include neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD) that affects infants, the adaptation or silent period, failure to thrive and dyslipidemia caused by citrin deficiency (FTTDCD) and adolescent and adult citrin deficiency (AACD) (formerly termed CTLN2), which represents the most severe form of ...
It can take the form of a persistent failure to initiate or respond to most social interactions in a developmentally appropriate way—known as the "inhibited form". In the DSM-5, the "disinhibited form" is considered a separate diagnosis named "disinhibited attachment disorder".
The syndrome is a rare but potentially fatal cause of failure to thrive in children. Failure to thrive presents on average at seven months of age. [1] Of note the syndrome is not associated with developmental delay. [2] There may be associated hydrocephalus. [citation needed] Diencephalic syndrome was first described by Dr. A. Russell in 1951.

Most outcomes in neuroendocrine hyperplasia leads to failure to thrive due to the restrictions of oxygen flow in lungs. [5] The long-term outcome of NEHI is generally favourable with most patients gradually improving over time, although persistent airway obstruction mimicking severe asthma and relapse with respiratory infection.

Bainbridge–Ropers syndrome was first identified in 2013 and is characterized by failure to thrive, feeding problems, hypotonia, intellectual disabilities, autism, postnatal growth delay, abnormal facial features such as arched eyebrows, anteverted nares, and delays in language acquisition. BRPS is extremely rare worldwide; more than thirty ...
The usual presenting features are cardiomyopathy, cardiomegaly, hypotonia, respiratory distress, muscle weakness, feeding difficulties, and failure to thrive. [ 2 ] [ citation needed ] IOPD patients can be further classified by Cross-Reactive Immunological Material (CRIM) status which is an important predictor of clinical response.
Symptoms: hepatosplenomegaly; hypotonia; failure to thrive; developmental delays; cognitive deficits; seizures; skeletal abnormalities; dysplasia; metaphyses; clubbed feet; abnormally short thigh bones; dysplasia; nystagmus; ataxia. Usual onset: Affected infants appear normal at birth but may develop symptoms during the first year of life. Duration
