Abstract
We present an infant with manifestations of the hydrolethalus syndrome who survived for over eight months; previously, the longest reported survival in this condition has been two days. The literature is reviewed and the clinical and pathological findings of our patient are compared with those of the fifty previously reported cases. The differential diagnosis of the condition is discussed. (Am J Med Genet 27: 935–942, 1987)
