AB  - It  is  a  very  rare  and  potentially  lethal  neurologic  disorder  characterized  by  failure  to  thrive,  severe  emaciation,  amnesia,  intense  sleepiness,  unusual  eye  position,  and  sometimes  blindness.  It  is  normally  seen  in  infancy  or  early  childhood  but  some  cases  in  older  children  and  adults  have  been  reported.  Diencephalic  Syndrome  usually  is  caused  by  a  brain  tumor  such  as  a  low-grade  glioma  or  astrocytoma.  Onset  age  of  presentation  usually  is  the  young  infant  or  child  between  the  ages  of  18  months  and  3  years.  However,  it  also  can  develop  during  adolescence  and  even  adulthood.
