Background and Objective: This clinical case study analyzed the characteristics of Sotos syndrome. Since it is a rare syndrome and is related to the occurrence of behavioral disorders. Health professionals who work with this population were informed so that this condition is recognized, enabling appropriate treatment and consequently a good quality of life. This study was analyzed and approved by the Research Ethics Committee according to the reasoned opinion number, under number 6,089,691, and the patient's consent was obtained through the Free and Informed Consent Form. Final Considerations: Sotos Syndrome should be considered when the patient presents macrocrania, growth acceleration, and behavioral changes associated with varying degrees of delay. The diagnosis is clinical, but complementary tests help, as they rule out other possible causes for such an association of symptoms since there is no specific test for the syndrome to date. The treatment of these patients must be individualized, using pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies according to the needs of the moment. Clinical follow-up is always necessary, due to complications that may arise.
