Quick Summary:

  • Freeman Sheldon Syndrome (FSS) is an uncommon genetic disorder affecting the bones and muscles. It is primarily characterized by a unique facial appearance with a small mouth, along with hand and feet deformations
  • An individual’s face, affected by the syndrome may resemble the face of a person, who appears to be ‘whistling’. For this reason, the syndrome is also known as Whistling-Face Syndrome
  • FSS manifests itself as a congenital contracture disorder, where many muscles and bones on the hands, feet, face, and spine, contract. This causes the body skeletal structure to have multiple distortions, curved spine, bent limbs and digits. The degree of severity of the condition, varies from one individual to another
  • This disorder restricts and impairs proper movement. The treatment of a Freeman Sheldon Syndrome affected child may include surgical corrections with physiotherapy to restore movement, in order to enable the child lead a near normal life
  • The condition does not cause progressive deterioration with age; however, constant support and remedial treatment measures may be required throughout one’s life. The prognosis for FSS is good, with appropriate treatment
