Presentation
Congenital hydrocephalus can present as an isolated phenomenon which is common; or with associated anomalies affecting other organs, disturbing physiology or presenting as a syndrome. [cags.org.ae]
What chromosomal disorder(s) can present with delayed or failed sexual maturation? 2. This syndrome presents with a prominent occiput, clenched fists and "rocker bottom feet". What are 2 complications that can cause death in these children? 3. [hawaii.edu]
These large calluses may also be present in flat bones [ 55 ]. [bmcpediatr.biomedcentral.com]
About 10% of individuals with Fryns syndrome also present with genital and urinary abnormalities. [rarediseases.org]
Systemic Features: Prominent foreheads are present at birth along with full cheeks and a prominent forehead. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Failure to Thrive
Most affected individuals have characteristic facial features that evolve with age; a broad, webbed neck; increased bleeding tendency; and a high incidence of congenital heart disease, failure to thrive, short stature, feeding difficulties, sternal deformity [aafp.org]
Failure to thrive: Children with the most serious lung problems are most likely to have growth problems. Because of their illness, they often require more calories than a normal baby in order to grow and get healthier. [childrenshospital.org]
Hypotonia, hyporeflexia, failure to thrive, lethargy, and feeding difficulties are common in infants. Older individuals have REM sleep disturbances with self-destructive behaviors, aggression, inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Treatment
ICSD-2 and AASM Practice Parameters, Alternative approaches to treatment of Central Sleep Apnea, and Infant central apnea. [books.google.com]
You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment has been reported. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Effective treatment thus can be initiated shortly after birth. [britannica.com]

Prognosis
Prognosis Frequently results in stillbirth or death within the first year. If patients survive beyond infancy, they have slow but constant progress in terms of development. [patient.info]
Ectopia cordis is quite rare and has poor prognosis. [atlases.muni.cz]
Since there is a wide variety of signs and symptoms, treatment and prognosis for the condition vary greatly from person to person. [rarediseases.org]
The management adapted to each case is needed to improve the course and prognosis of these patients. [omicsonline.org]

Etiology
In most cases the etiology is unknown, probably multifactorial. [atlases.muni.cz]
The etiology is an extra X chromosome. The most common chromosomal pattern is 47,XXY, but other variants can occur including 48,XXYY, 48,XXXY, and 49,XXXXY. [hawaii.edu]
Prenatal testing is possible where one parent is known to be a carrier of the condition. [ 6 ] Bergemann AD, Cole F, Hirschhorn K ; The etiology of Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. Trends Genet. 2005 Mar21(3):188-95. [patient.info]
Etiology The cause of anencephaly is usually not known. The data suggest a polygenic or multifactorial etiology. Recognized associations include chromosomal abnormalities and mechanical factors. [nejm.org]

Epidemiology
Our knowledge of potential risks to the fetus and newborn, therefore, is based on case reports, epidemiologic surveys of exposed individuals, and animal studies. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]
The clinical experience and epidemiologic data can be used to estimate the anticipated incidence of anencephaly in the United States each year. [nejm.org]

Prevention
The prevention of progressive damage is the goal of therapy. [britannica.com]
When the organs from the abdomen prevent the lungs from growing, the poor lung growth is called pulmonary hypoplasia. Healthy lungs have millions of small air sacs (alveoli), each of which resembles a balloon filled with air. [childrenshospital.org]

These can include omphalocele, where intestines, liver, and other organs develop outside of the abdominal wall, anal malformations, and intestinal malrotation, when intestines are twisted preventing passage of food. [rarediseases.org]
