L1 syndrome is a group of mild to severe X-linked recessive disorders that share a common genetic basis. The spectrum of L1 syndrome disorders includes X-linked complicated corpus callosum dysgenesis, spastic paraplegia 1, MASA syndrome, and X-linked hydrocephalus with stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius (HSAS).
Craniosynostosis-Dandy-Walker malformation-hydrocephalus syndrome (HCDPH1, also known as Sagittal craniosynostosis, Dandy-Walker malformation and hydrocephalus, Dandy-Walker malformation with sagittal craniosynostosis and hydrocephalus, Braddock-Jones-Superneau syndrome, or simply Hydrocephalus, autosomal dominant) is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by sagittal craniosynostosis ...
A rare neurological disorder affecting approximately 1 in 100,000 people, most of whom are women of child-bearing age. IIH results in a raised intracranial pressure and can lead to permanent loss of vision. Normal pressure hydrocephalus, also known as Hakim-Adams syndrome
[5] [6] Those without hydrocephalus are treated based on any associated symptoms or condition. [13] The prevalence of DWM is estimated at between 1 in 25,000 to 1 in 50,000. [5] [11] DWM is the cause of around 4.3% of cases of congenital hydrocephalus [14] and 2.5% of all cases of hydrocephalus. [6]
