Fowler syndrome presenting as a Dandy-Walker malformation: a second case report.
Fowler syndrome, also known as proliferative vasculopathy and hydrocephaly-hydranencephaly, is a lethal condition characterized by hydrocephalus associated with progressive destruction of central nervous system tissue as a result of an unusual and characteristic proliferative vasculopathy. The occurrence of Fowler syndrome in consanguineous families and recurrence in both sexes are suggestive of an autosomal recessive transmission. We present the second case of Fowler syndrome presenting as a Dandy-Walker malformation, in a consanguineous family.
