Signs and symptoms

The symptoms of Freeman-Sheldon syndrome include drooping of the upper eyelids, strabismus, low-set ears, a long philtrum, gradual hearing loss, scoliosis, and walking difficulties. Gastroesophageal reflux has been noted during infancy, but usually improves with age. The tongue may be small, and the limited movement of the soft palate may cause nasal speech. Often there is an H- or Y-shaped dimpling of the skin over the chin. Diagnosis
Freeman-Sheldon syndrome is a type of distal arthrogryposis, related to distal arthrogryposis type 1 (DA1).[6] In 1996, more strict criteria for the diagnosis of Freeman-Sheldon syndrome were drawn up, assigning Freeman-Sheldon syndrome as distal arthrogryposis type 2A (DA2A).[5] On the whole, DA1 is the least severe; DA2B is more severe with additional features that respond less favourably to therapy. DA2A (Freeman-Sheldon syndrome) is the most severe of the three, with more abnormalities and greater resistance to therapy.[5] In March 2006, Stevenson et al. published strict diagnostic criteria for distal arthrogryposis type 2A (DA2A) or Freeman-Sheldon syndrome. These included two or more features of distal arthrogryposis: microstomia, whistling-face, nasolabial creases, and 'H-shaped' chin dimple.[4] Management
Surgical and anaesthetic considerations

Patients must have early consultation with craniofacial and orthopaedic surgeons, when craniofacial,[22][23][24] clubfoot,[25] or hand correction[26][27][28][29] is indicated to improve function or aesthetics. Operative measures should be pursued cautiously, with avoidance of radical measures and careful consideration of the abnormal muscle physiology in Freeman-Sheldon syndrome. Unfortunately, many surgical procedures have suboptimal outcomes, secondary to the myopathy of the syndrome. When operative measures are to be undertaken, they should be planned for as early in life as is feasible, in consideration of the tendency for fragile health. Early interventions hold the possibility to minimise developmental delays and negate the necessity of relearning basic functions.
Psychiatric considerations
Adler (1995) cautioned the failure of modern medicine to implement the biopsychosocial model,[45] which incorporates all aspects of a patient’s experience in a scientific approach into the clinical picture,[46][47][48][49] often results in chronically-ill patients deferring to non-traditional and alternative forms of therapy, seeking to be understood as a whole, not a part,[50] which may be problematic among patients with FSS.
With psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychopharmacotherapy may need to be considered. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is advised against, in light of abnormal myophysiology, with predisposal to MH. Medical emphasis

General health maintenance should be the therapeutic emphasis in Freeman-Sheldon syndrome. The focus is on limiting exposure toinfectious diseases because the musculoskeletal abnormalities make recovery from routine infections much more difficult in FSS.Pneumonitis and bronchitis often follow seemingly mild upper respiratory tract infections. Though respiratory challenges and complications faced by a patient with FSS can be numerous, the syndrome’s primary involvement is limited to the musculoskeletal systems, and satisfactory quality and length of life can be expected with proper care.
