Behavioural aspects of Pollitt syndrome: a 32-year follow-up of a case described by R. J. Pollitt and colleagues in 1968

In 1968, R. J. Pollitt and colleagues described a syndrome characterized by abnormally brittle, sulphur‐deficient hair (trichothiodystrophy), intellectual disability (ID) and growth retardation. One of the two siblings originally described by the above authors has recently been re‐assessed by the present authors following a referral for advice about ritualistic behaviours. Her current clinical features are described, and the literature concerning trichothiodystrophy and ID is summarized.
