Autosomal recessive hydrocephalus due to congenital stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius

Abstract: Isolated hydrocephalus due to congenital stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius is almost always an X‐linked recessive inherited condition. We describe a brother and sister with isolated hydrocephalus from congenital aqueductal stenosis. We believe that these two occurrences represent a rare autosomal recessive form of this abnormality. In assessing a first known occurrence of hydrocephalus with stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius in a family, the rare possibility of autosomal inheritance must be considered in ge… Show more

“…It is inherited in an X‐linked recessive manner and is caused by L1CAM mutations [Jouet et al, 1994; Vits et al, 1994]. Several cases of autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hydrocephalus due to aqueductal stenosis have been reported [Vanlieferinghen et al, 1987; Verhagen et al, 1998; Hamada et al, 1999; Haverkamp et al, 1999; Lapunzina et al, 2002], although the genes causing this type are currently unknown.…”

“…But, we clearly implicate the 15q11.2q13.1 triplication in SAS, keeping in mind that the 15q13.3 duplication can contribute to the alteration of the chromatin structure and the imprinting control. Moreover, familial SAS was reported with probably autosomal recessive (Verhagen et al, ) or dominant inheritance and variable expression (Hamada et al, ). In our series, no parental consanguinity or recurrence was reported.…”

“…15,16 Congenital hydrocephalus is genetic in 2% to 15% of cases. 17 Although X-linked hydrocephalus due to L1CAM mutations is the most commonly recognized cause, there are in the literature very rare cases of autosomal recessive [18][19][20] and 2 reports of families with apparently autosomal dominant 21,22 hydrocephalus with aqueductal stenosis. One family with autosomal dominant hydrocephalus had in addition a situs inversus anomaly.…”
