A Multidisciplinary Approach to Care
نویسنده
چکیده
Williams syndrome (WS) is a highly distinct genetic syndrome with a unique constellation of medical and developmental problems and an associated characteristic personality profi le. It is a disorder that should be well-known to most pediatricians, in generalities if not in specifi cs. Although the management of certain problems may be best provided by a single specialist, other common challenges are best approached through a multidisciplinary lens for both diagnostic evaluation and treatment. The etiology of these latter problems can be viewed on a continuum; at one end are symptoms manifesting in one system caused by pathology in another (eg, abdominal pain caused by anxiety), while at the other end are symptoms whose causes are truly multifactorial (eg, abdominal pain due to celiac disease which is also exacerbated by anxiety).
