A condition, so far found only in girls, in which apparently normalearly development is followed by
partial or complete loss of speech and of skills in locomotion and use of hands, together with
deceleration in head growth,
usually with an onset between seven and 24 months of age. Loss of purposive hand movements,
hand-wringing stereotypes, and hyperventilation are
characteristic. Social and play development are arrested but social interest tends to be maintained. (ICD-10 Version

This rare genetic disorder causes non cancerous tumors to grow in the brain. They may also grow in other areas, such as the spinal cord, nerves, eyes, and other organs.
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
One of the causes of CDD
This genetic disease involves atypical myelin sheath development that causes white matter in the brain to
disintegrate. White matter is a type of brain tissue that connects different parts of the brain.
Leukodystrophy
One of the causes of CDD:
This group of inherited metabolic disorders causes Trusted Source harmful amounts of fatty materials
known as lipids to accumulate in cells and tissues.
Lipid Storage Disease
One of the Intervention or treatment of CDD
These can help parents and caregivers follow a child’s
