A longitudinal study was carried out on the family history of 270 babies with uncomplicated congenital hydrocephalus. They had 453 siblings of whom five (11.1/1000) had congenital hydrocephalus and nine (19.9/1000) neural tube defects. These data, together with those obtained from previously published reports indicate that the aetiology of the two conditions is probably the same in many cases, although there are unusual exceptions in special families even apart from those with the sex linked, recessively inherited hydrocephalus.
对270例单纯性先天性脑积水患儿的家族史进行了一项纵向研究。他们有453名兄弟姐妹,其中5名(11.1/1000)患有先天性脑积水,9名(19.9/1000)患有神经管缺陷。这些数据,连同先前发表的报告中获得的数据表明,在许多情况下,这两种疾病的病因可能相同,尽管在特殊家庭中存在异常例外情况,甚至不包括那些患有性连锁隐性遗传脑积水的家庭。
