Uzun boy, boy persentilinin +2.5 standart deviasyon (SD) üzerinde olmasıdır. En sık endokrinolojik problemlerle birlikte görülmektedir. Dismorfik bulgular eşlik ettiğinde Marfan Sendromu, homosistinüri, Beckwith-Wiedeman, nörofibromatozis, Weaver, Proteus, Frajil X ve Sotos Sendromu gibi sendromik hastalıklar da ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmelidir. Sotos sendromunda uzun boyun yanı sıra, makrosefali, el ve ayaklarda aşırı büyüme ile giden orantısız büyüme ve dismorfik yüz görünümü görülmektedir. Ayrıca konjenital kardiyak defektler, mental retardasyon ve davranışsal problemler de eşlik edebilir. Yenidoğan döneminden itibaren boy, vücut ağırlığı ve baş çevresi persentilleri >97 olan, antenatal dönemdeki fetal ölçümlerde 3 hafta ileri olduğu anamnezle öğrenilen, konjenital kardiyak hastalık (atrial septal defekt ve patent duktus arteriosus) nedeniyle opere edilen olgunun yapılan fizik incelemede alın çıkıklığı, hiperteleroizm, telekantus, kemerli burun ve el ve ayaklarda aşırı büyüklük tespit edildi. Takipleri sırasında yapılan psikometrik değerlendirmelerde, zeka yaşının takvim yaşına göre geri olduğu belirlenen olguda sotos sendromu düşünülerek genetik çalışma yapıldı. Nuclear receptor binding SET-Domain 1 (NSD-1) gen mutasyonu pozitif gelen hastaya Sotos Sendromu tanısı konuldu. Bu yazıda, boy uzunluğu ile izlenen ve Sotos sendromu tanısı alan bir olgu sunulmuştur.
Tall Stature means that the person’s height percentile is above +2.5 standard deviation. It is commonly seen with endocrine problems. If it is accompanied with dysmorphic problems, the differential diagnosis includes metabolic disorders such as Marfan’s syndrome, homocystinuria, Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome, neurofibromatosis, Weaver’s syndrome, Proteus and Proteus-like syndromes, fragile X syndrome and Sotos’ syndrome. In addition to increased height, Sotos syndrome patients may also have macrocephaly, excessive and disproportionate growth of the hands and feet, and a dysmorphic facial appearance. Congenital heart defects, mental retardation and behavioral problems may also be present. Our patient’s fetal measurements were 3 week ahead of normal fetal measurements in the antenatal period, and the height, weight and head circumference percentiles were greater than the 97th percentiles. The patient underwent surgery for a congenital cardiac disease (ASD and PDA). Hypertelorism, telecanthus,frontal bossing, arched nose and over-sized hands and feet were found by physical examination. Psychometric evaluation during the follow-up showed that the patient’s intelligence was below the normal range for his age group. Genetic analysis was performed due to possibility of Sotos’ syndrome. The patient was diagnosed as Sotos’ Syndrome due to mutations of Nuclear receptor binding SET-Domain 1 (NSD-1). We reported a patient who was diagnosed as Sotos’ syndrome and who is being treated for increased height in this article

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 6 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
