What Neurological Symptoms Occur With Cat's Cry Syndrome?
Moderate to severe intellectual disability is a common neurological symptom of cat's cry syndrome. Developmental delay occurs in almost all babies and children with the disease, who sometimes accomplish the same tasks as normal children, but much later.
These children rarely dress or feed themselves until they are well out of toddlerhood, and to meet their slowed learning ability, they need special educational strategies. Children with cat's cry syndrome are typically easy-going and friendly, but they may also exhibit sudden aggressive outbursts.1’Cri-du-chat syndrome.’ Genetic and Rare Disease Information Center. www.rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/6213/cri-du-chat-syndrome
