摘要：

Hydrolethalus syndrome may comprise mainly hydrocephalus, polydactyly, micrognathia, congenital cardiac and respiratory anomalies and uniform lethality. It was recently described in Finland, with a suggestion that it might be one of the Finnish diseases. Two [human infant] cases of this syndrome in consecutive siblings of a Nigerian couple are reported on. In addition, associated healing fractures of the long bones are described, a feature not mentioned in the original report, apparently because those cases were not subjected to post-partum radiography.
