Question
From a brief description could you help tell me what this condition is? . This is about a baby born full term @ 6lb 10oz. The doctors said the baby has small limbs and has a condition but didn't know what. the baby has quite a large forehead kept on sticking it's tongue out from the moment is was born was wide awake for hours the baby now has puffy cheeks after about 1 week and looks quite big for its age. Do you know what this conditions could be? As it would be a great help just to research the information you may give as it takes a very long time for the blood results to come through. Thank you for your time.
Answer
It is very difficult to comment without having a look at the child. However a large head and small limbs makes one think of a condition called as achondroplasia. But these children are usually short and not big. For large babies, Beckwith Weidmann syndrome should be ruled out.
