EFFICACY OF HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES
ON FUNCTIONING IN A CHILD WITH
BARAITSER WINTER SYNDROME
Vaishali
Dr Vaishali’s Homoeopathic Clinic, India
Background: Baraitser Winter Syndrome (BWS) is a condition that affects the
development of multiple parts of the body, particularly, the brain and the face.
An unusual facial appearance is the most common characteristic of BWS.
Distinctive facial features which include hypertelorism, ptosis, high-arched
eyebrows, broad nasal bridge, philtrum. Structural brain abnormalities are also
present which can cause mild to severe intellectual disability, developmental
delay and seizures. This paper explores whether ultra dilute medicines with
proven efficacy may be possibly used for such conditions, to improve the
qualitative life of the child.
Objective: To reflect the evidence based structural changes brought
by homoeopathic medicines and to promote the child independence in
congenital deformity.
Method: A child afflicted with baraitser winter syndrome was analyzed and
treated as per Homoeopathic principles; general expression of the case was
used for diagnosis and characteristicwere given prime importance for arriving
of the constitutional similium; and conductive training for the development of
motor function and functional skills were imparted.
Result: The study involved a detailed follow-up of the child for one year
and upon analysis, detailed study and specific treatment, the child showed
significant improvement in dysmorphic symptoms as compared to pre-
treatment. Structural corrections of undescended testis were seen with
improvement in hearing and development of milestones.
Conclusion: The study and treatment demonstrate the scope of homoeopathic
medicines in treating BWS which reflects significant improvement in motor
and functional skill development of the child, which otherwise, in pre-
treatment was grossly missing. However, rigorous research needs to be done.
