It is caused by inadequate development of the corticobulbar tracts and causes problems with the mouth and tongue including impaired swallowing. A similar syndrome in adults is called Bilateral anterior opercular syndrome, anterior opercular syndrome. A 1986 study of a family in which multiple members had Worster-Drought syndrome suggested it might be hereditary. A 2000 review of cases classified Worster-Drought Syndrome as a form of cerebral palsy, caused by early damage to the brain, but identified no obvious causes during gestation or birth and found some families with a history of the condition. The syndrome was named after Cecil Charles Worster-Drought, the doctor who described it in 1956.
