ABSTRACT
Rett syndrome (RS) is characterised by a severe neurodevelopmental disorder that contributes significantly to severe intellectual disability in females worldwide. The Majority of the cases were caused by mutations in the X-linked gene methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2). The Mutation of MECP2 was seen in 70% -80% cases and remaining 20%-30% of the cases were attributes to unknown mutation. Neurodevelopment has been referred to as neurological regression that severely affects cognitive, motor, communication skills and by autonomic dysfunction and often seizure disorder, a disturbed breathing pattern with hyperventilation, periodic apnoea, scoliosis, growth retardation and gait apraxia. The most common oral findings were bruxism. No etiological treatment is available in modern medicine. We discuss the clinical aspects and review in clinical and homoeopathic management.
Key words: Rett Syndrome, Neuro-developmental disorder, Neurological regression, Individualisation, Homoeopathy
