Growth delay-hydrocephaly-lung hypoplasia syndrome, also known as Game-Friedman-Paradice syndrome is a very rare hereditary disorder which is characterized by developmental, lung, and brain anomalies. Only 4 cases have been reported in medical literature.

Signs and symptoms

The following is a list of the symptoms usually shown by fetuses with the disorder:

  • Delayed fetal growth
  • Hydrocephaly
  • Sylvius patent aqueduct
  • Micrognathia
  • Poorly developed (hypoplastic) lungs
  • Malrotated intestines
  • Omphalocele
  • Shortening of the lower limbs
  • Tibia bowing
  • Generalized foot abnormalities

History

It was first discovered in 1989, by Game et al. when they described 4 fetus siblings (3 females, 1 male) born to healthy, non-consanguineous parents with all the symptoms mentioned above. The siblings were terminated and all of them (post-mortem examination) had a size similar to fetuses of younger gestational age.
