  • Title: Hydrolethalus syndrome in consecutive African siblings.
    Author: Adetoro OO, Komolafe F, Anjorin A.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 1984; 14(6):422-4. PubMed ID: 6390321.
    Abstract:
    Hydrolethalus syndrome may comprise mainly hydrocephalus, polydactyly, micrognathia, congenital cardiac and respiratory anomalies and uniform lethality. It was recently described in Finland, with a suggestion that it might be one of the "Finnish" diseases [4]. We report two cases of this syndrome in consecutive siblings of a Nigerian couple. In addition, we describe associated healing fractures of the long bones, a feature not mentioned in the original report, apparently because those cases were not subjected to post-partum radiography.
