Abstract

A female infant is diagnosed as having Larsen's syndrome associated with hydrocephalus. Larsen's syndrome is a rare disease characterized by congenital multiple joint dislocations and unusual facies. The pathogenesis is described as a mesodermal disorder. The present case remains a medical curiosity because there have been no previous reports of Larsen's syndrome associated with anomalies of the central nervous system. The author discusses the etiology, linking Larsen's syndrome to the hydrocephalus seen in this patient.
