目的
描述一种在20世纪90年代联合国对伊拉克实施制裁期间首次出现在伊拉克库尔德斯坦的罕见病症。进行文献综述以找出可能的病因。
方法
从包括私人诊所、医院门诊以及埃尔比勒市残疾儿童中心等各种来源收集患者。临床特征和恰当的病史是主要的诊断工具。对这些患者采用了不同的治疗方案。
结果
收集到24名患者；大多数患者年龄在6至18个月之间。男性比女性受影响更严重。一半的患者为纯母乳喂养，四分之三的患者因贫血接受过输血。
结论
婴儿震颤综合征是一种罕见病症，在印度及印度以外地区均有描述。在联合国制裁下经济困难时期的伊拉克库尔德斯坦儿童中观察到了这种病症。该病症在印度内外具有相同特征。病因尚不十分明确。
