Hydrocephalus in a hydropic fetus with Turner syndrome: a rare association

Abstract

We report a rare case of antenatally diagnosed Turner syndrome associated with hydrocephalus. In addition, the fetus had cystic hygroma, hydrops fetalis and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Pregnancy was terminated because of the poor outcome of the above-mentioned anomalies. A possible mechanism for the development of hydrocephalus is discussed.
