Sotos syndrome is a rare overgrowth condition characterized by tall stature, distinctive facial features, and learning disabilities. It is primarily caused by a microdeletion of the nuclear receptor-binding set domain protein 1 (NSD1) gene on chromosome 5q35. Patients often present with various clinical manifestations, including tall stature, precocious puberty, cardiac anomalies, and mild intellectual disability. Management of Sotos syndrome involves a multidisciplinary approach due to its complex nature and potential comorbidities. This case discusses the management of a 10-year-old female with a known gene mutation consistent with Sotos syndrome that presented to the clinic with behavioral changes, and highlights the importance of integrated care models when addressing complex clinical scenarios.
