The hydrolethalus syndrome: delineation of a "new", lethal malformation syndrome based on 28 patients

Abstract

We describe a lethal malformation syndrome in 28 newborn infants from 18 families. The main manifestations were hydrocephalus (often with an unusual structure of the brain and the occipital bone), very small mandible, polydactyly, congenital heart defect, abnormalities of the respiratory organs, and (different from the Meckel syndrome) normal kidneys. Polyhydramnios and stillbirth or neonatal death were the rule. Autosomal recessive inheritance is evident. This syndrome is another in the group of rare recessive disorders which are found in Finland. Because of the 25% recurrence risk and possibilities for prenatal diagnosis, this syndrome should be recognized by paediatricians and, because of the frequent stillbirths, also by obstetricians and pathologists. The name hydrolethalus syndrome (hydramnios, hydrocephalus, lethality) may be of help in this.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
