title: Hydrolethalus syndrome: report of an apparent mild case, literature review, and differential diagnosis.
abstract: We present an infant with manifestations of the hydrolethalus syndrome who has survived for over 5 months; previously, the longest survival reported in this condition has been 2 days. The literature is reviewed and the clinical and pathological findings of our patient are compared with those of the 50 previously reported cases. The differential diagnosis of the condition is discussed.
