Hydrocephalus in asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy.
We document four patients, including two sibs, with asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy and mild congenital hydrocephalus. All infants were males; three had postaxial polydactyly. The CT scan of brain showed moderate dilatation of the lateral ventricles in all cases. This appears to be the first documentation of apparent hydrocephalus in this condition.
