Carlos García del Val, a student of the Postgraduate Program in Neuropsychology of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, shares through the Thesis Corner his presentation of the clinical session Cat Cry Syndrome (Cri du chat).
Defined as a rare disease caused by a specific alteration of genetic material, this syndrome owes its name to the baby’s high-pitched cry similar to a cat’s meow. Through Carlos García del Val’s presentation, we will learn about its etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, the anatomical and myofunctional alterations that accompany it, its evolutionary development, and its cognitive and behavioral characteristics to discover the best multidisciplinary intervention to treat it.
Consult Carlos García del Val’s Cat Cry Syndrome clinical session
The clinical sessions of the Postgraduate Program in Neuropsychology of Neurodevelopmental Disorders are works carried out by the students themselves that require an exhaustive review of a topic of their choice. For its development, it is necessary to consult scientific literature in English (high-impact journals) and prepare an index that they develop in an approximately 80-slide PowerPoint presentation, which they defend publicly for a maximum of 75 minutes (videos included). Once presented, it is subject to questions or clarifications from their peers and/or the postgraduate program coordinator.[/su_note]
