Diagnosis of Mon Mei Syndrome
I cannot provide a diagnostic approach for "Mon Mei syndrome" as this condition does not appear in any established medical literature, guidelines, or the evidence provided. No recognized medical syndrome by this name exists in current clinical practice or published guidelines.
Critical Clarification Needed
The evidence provided discusses multiple distinct genetic and oncologic conditions, but none reference "Mon Mei syndrome":
- Schinzel-Giedion syndrome - characterized by sacrococcygeal germ cell tumors, hepatoblastoma, and elevated AFP 1
- Hereditary persistence of AFP (HPAFP) - a benign autosomal dominant condition causing constitutively elevated AFP without malignancy 2
- Various chromosomal repair disorders - including ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) where elevated AFP is seen in 95% of patients 1
If You Meant a Different Syndrome
For Schinzel-Giedion Syndrome with Elevated AFP:
Baseline spine MRI and abdominopelvic ultrasound at diagnosis, with consideration of AFP and beta-HCG testing 1. For milder cases, periodic spine and abdominopelvic imaging with laboratory monitoring should be considered 1.
For Hereditary Persistence of AFP (HPAFP):
The diagnosis is confirmed by analyzing AFP levels in other family members, demonstrating autosomal dominant inheritance 2. This prevents inappropriate treatments such as chemotherapy and surgery in patients with persistently elevated AFP but no radiological evidence of hepatocellular carcinoma or germ cell tumors 2.
For Ataxia-Telangiectasia (AT):
Measure serum AFP levels as a screening test, as increased AFP is virtually pathognomonic for AT in the appropriate clinical and immunologic context 1.

Please verify the correct syndrome name to receive accurate diagnostic guidance, as providing recommendations for a non-existent condition could lead to clinical harm.
