What Is Stromme Syndrome?
8. Brain
The majority of patients with Stromme syndrome will have microcephaly. This is a condition where the circumference of the patients head is considerably smaller than usual. The patient might also have shallower ridges in the brain than usual (lissencephaly), and/or fewer ridges (pachygyria). The severity of these conditions will vary from patient to patient.
Hydrocephalus is also a possibility. This is a condition in which there is a build up of fluid within the brain. This can cause the skull to be larger than usual, while it will also place more pressure on the brain. This latter condition is not necessarily dangerous provided the patient is operated on in time.
