Hydrocephalus with cleft lip and palate: an overlap between midline malformation syndromes

Indian J Pediatr. 2006 Aug;73(8):731-3. doi: 10.1007/BF02898455.

Abstract

We present a male infant with hydrocephalus, cleft lip/palate, micrognathia, club foot, laryngeal stenosis and ostium secundum type atrial septal defect. The karyotype was 46 XY. The combination of malformations observed overlaps with the characteristic findings of hydrolethalus syndrome, Meckel syndrome, Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome and pseudotrisomy 13. We discussed the differential diagnosis of the case.
