Abstract:

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 characteristic were 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 pretreatment. 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 pretreatment was grossly missing. However, rigorous research needs to be done.
