General Information of Disease (ID: DISWVM8Y)

Disease Name Megalencephaly-polymicrogyria-postaxial polydactyly-hydrocephalus syndrome
Synonyms
megalencephaly, polymicrogyria, and hydrocephalus (MPPH) syndrome; megalencephaly and perisylvian polymicrogyria with postaxial polydactyly and hydrocephalus; megalencephaly-polymicrogyria-polydactyly-hydrocephalus syndrome; MPPH syndrome
Definition
Megalencephaly-polymicrogyria-postaxial polydactyly-hydrocephalus syndrome is characterized by megalencephaly, polymicrogyria, and hydrocephalus with variable polydactyly. It has been described in six unrelated patients. Intellectual deficit or slow development is also present. The mode of inheritance of this syndrome is unknown since all cases were sporadic.
