A case of Proteus syndrome with severe spinal canal stenosis, scoliosis, and thoracic deformity associated with tethered cord.

[proteus syndrome]

Proteus syndrome is a rare , sporadic , hamartomatous disorder manifesting with multifocal overgrowth of tissue . The features seem to develop most often during childhood . Vertebral overgrowth with severe spinal canal stenosis is unusual , although scoliosis with abnormal vertebral bodies is one of the typical features of Proteus syndrome . We report a case of Proteus syndrome with severe spinal canal stenosis , scoliosis , cervical kyphosis , and thoracic deformity with airway obstruction because of asymmetrical overgrowth of vertebrae and ribs associated with a tethered cord , lipomas , strawberry hemangioma , flat nasal bridge , and bilateral hypoplasty of the first metatarsal bones with hyperplasty of soft tissue .
