Hydrocephalus in Down's syndrome.
An infant with hydrocephalus, aqueductal stenosis and partial agenesis of the corpus callosum in association with Down's syndrome is reported. Review of the literature reveals that hydrocephalus is infrequent in Down's syndrome. Of special interest is the occurrence of agenesis of the corpus callosum in our patient, a lesion often reported with other chromosomal abnormalities, but not previously observed in Down's syndrome.
