Pallister-Killian Syndrome (PKS) as a Cause of Mental Retardation

Abstract: Pallister-Killian syndrome (PKS; OMIM: # 601803) is a rare sporadic syndrome of multiple congenital anomalies attributable to the presence of a de novo mosaic supernumerary isochromosome 12p [i(12p)]. The syndrome presents with a recognizable pattern of findings including: pigmentary skin changes, characteristic facial features (sparse anterior scalp hair, flattened midface, macrostomia, and coarsening of the facial features), and developmental delay. The developmental phenotype of PKS is quite variable, but m… Show more

“…Brain signal changes are not uncommon in PKS. 8,11,[15][16][17]21,23,26 These may involve the cerebral or brainstem white matter, basal ganglia, or cerebral cortex. White matter signal changes take the form of focal hyperintensities on T2WI, or less commonly, myelination delay or calcifications.…”
