Growth delay-hydrocephaly-lung hypoplasia syndrome, also known as Game-Friedman-Paradice syndrome is a very rare hereditary disorder which is characterized by developmental, lung, and brain anomalies.[1] Only 4 cases have been reported in medical literature.[2]
Signs and symptoms[edit]
The following is a list of the symptoms usually shown by fetuses with the disorder:[3]
- Delayed fetal growth
- Hydrocephaly
- Sylvius patent aqueduct
- Micrognathia
- Poorly developed (hypoplastic) lungs
- Malrotated intestines
- Omphalocele
- Shortening of the lower limbs
- Tibia bowing
- Generalized foot abnormalities
History[edit]
It was first discovered in 1989, by Game et al. when they described 4 fetus siblings (3 females, 1 male) born to healthy, non-consanguineous parents with all the symptoms mentioned above. The siblings were terminated and all of them (post-mortem examination) had a size similar to fetuses of younger gestational age.[4][5]
