WALKER-WARBURG SYNDROME - PRENATAL ULTRASOUND FINDINGS

The prenatal sonographic findings in a case of Walker-Warburg syndrome are described. The patient was not at risk for this condition. Ultras ound examination at 34 weeks' gestation revealed hydrocephaly, Dandy-W alker anomaly, and striking ocular abnormalities. From a review of the literature it appears that while intracranial abnormalities can lead to the diagnosis in cases at risk for this syndrome, ocular abnormalit ies are rather characteristic for this syndrome and they should be sea rched for in every case of hydrocephaly or encephalocele.
