Pretzel syndrome
Pretzel syndrome or PMSE is a rare disorder characterized by skeletal deformity, malformation of the brain (with accompanying seizures), electrolyte imbalances, and variable malformations of the heart and other organs [1]
Due to the peculiar positioning of the legs due to the muscular hypotonia in combination with connective tissue problems, children with mutations in the STRADA/LYK5 gene can twist themselves into a pretzel-like configuration.[2]
