Clinical Report: Cognitive decline in a patient with Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome.

Sergio Cabrera1, Chantal Morel2, Maria Carmela Tartaglia1,3.   

Abstract

Cardiofaciocutaneous Syndrome (CFCS) is a rare genetic syndrome caused by mutations in one of four genes: BRAF, MAP2K1, MAP2K2, and KRAS. There is tremendous phenotypic heterogeneity in patients with CFCS and so confirmation of diagnosis requires genetic testing. Neurologic and/or cognitive symptoms are present in almost all CFCS individuals. Little is known about cognitive function in older patients with CFCS. In this report, we present the cognitive, neuropsychiatric, and imaging findings of a patient diagnosed with CFCS who after having remained stable developed progressive cognitive/behavioral and motor decline.
