The Young-Simpson Syndrome is characterized by multiple malformations and unknown etiology,
and is associated with Mental Retardation. It’s a rare syndrome and, indeed, only 11 cases have
been so far identified. The evolution of cognitive, adaptive and behavioral characteristics is still
unclear.
This paper describes a clinical case that, following target-oriented habilitation treatments, showed
remarkable improvements in several developmental domains.
