We describe two brothers with congenital lymphedema of lower limbs, atrial septal defect (ASD), and similar facial appearance. A sister had severe hydrops fetalis, ASD, omphalocele, and other anomalies. This combination of congenital lymphedema and ASD differs from other reported cases of congenital lymphedema and most likely constitutes a previously unrecognized autosomal recessive syndrome.
我们描述了两兄弟,他们患有先天性下肢淋巴水肿、房间隔缺损(ASD),且面部外观相似。一名姐妹患有严重的胎儿水肿、ASD、脐膨出及其他异常。这种先天性淋巴水肿与ASD的组合不同于其他已报道的先天性淋巴水肿病例,很可能构成一种此前未被认识的常染色体隐性综合征。
