My friend's baby is 3 months old. In that 3 months he has had a malrotation, suffers from severe reflux, has had a bout with RSV and has also been diagnosed with choanal stenosis. Now his mother has told me that a "bump" has appeared at the base of his skull, kind of behind the ear. It popped up overnight, or at least she didn't notice it until now. It's about the size of a grape. Also, his arms turn dark purple from the elbows down and are cold. He also has what looks like eczema on his arms. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to what these problems mean? Could it be some sort of syndrome? Any ideas would be appreciated.

You did not say, but I hope he saw a physican immediately for the lump and discolorization?

I typed malrotation and choanal stenosis into www.google.com and many many syndromes popped up. This does not necessarily mean he has a sundrome, only that he should get a full work up at a major medical center for a possible syndrome.

Be gentle with you friend. Go slow with your information. Ask her if she wants you to look things up or to help her do searches. Be very careful and caring.
