Cardiac and abdominal ultrasound scans were repeatedly normal. Brain MRI scans detected increased peritrigonal signal of white matter at the age of 10 months and focal hemimegalencephaly with perisylvian polymicrogyria at the age of 7 years. From the age of 7 years, the girl had episodes of generalized tonic-clonic seizures refractory to antiepileptic therapy. She suffers from mild cognitive impairment and attention deficit disorder, and in the last years had temper tantrums and angry outbursts.
On physical examination at the age of 10 years and 4 months, her weight was 35 kg (25th-50th centile), height 138 cm (25th-50th centile) and head circumference 60 cm (+ 5.2 SD). She had left hemihyperplasia, involving face, trunk and limbs (mainly legs) with diffusely soft and thick irregularly marbled skin and prominent capillaries and veins on the trunk, abdomen and limbs. Three small (diameter <0.5 cm) achromic spots were observed on the trunk. Her 3rd right finger was significantly larger than the contralateral one and she had a bilateral proximal 4/5 cutaneous syndactyly of the 2nd and 3rd toes. Besides macrosomia, she had dysmorphic features including malar hypoplasia, hypertelorism (inner canthal distance >97th centile, palpebral length + 1 SD), long philtrum (>97th centile) and high palate, and S-shaped scoliosis.
