Sandifer’s Syndrome: a Misdiagnosed and Mysterious Disorder

Sandifer’s syndrome (ss) is a rare pediatric manifestation of gastro-esophageal reflux (ger) disease characterized by abnormal and dystonic movements of the head, neck, eyes and trunk. although sandifer initially observed the association, kinsbourne and oxon first reported it based on the observations of sandifer. the syndrome is most certainly underrecognized, and delays in diagnosis are due to atypical presentations or cases in which the diagnosis is not part of the differential.
