Worster-Drought syndrome

A 1986 study of a family in which multiple members had Worster-Drought Syndrome suggested it might be hereditary.

He discovered and named Worster-Drought syndrome.

Worster-Drought syndrome is a form of congenital suprabulbar paresis that occurs in some children with cerebral palsy.

It was first reported by Cecil Charles Worster-Drought in 1933 and is therefore also known as Worster-Drought syndrome.

A 2000 review of cases classified Worster-Drought Syndrome as a form of cerebral palsy, caused by early damage to the brain, but identified no obvious causes during gestation or birth and found some families with a history of the condition.
