Hennekam Syndrome presenting as nonimmune hydrops fetalis congenital chylothorax and congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2003Co-Authors: Carlo Bellini, Francesco Boccardo, Massimo Mazzella, Cesare Arioni, Gioconda Taddei, Paolo Tomà, Corradino Campisi, Raoul C M Hennekam, Giovanni SerraAbstract:We report a female infant with congenital lymphedema, facial anomalies, intestinal lymphangiectasia consistent with a diagnosis of Hennekam Syndrome. At birth the patient presented with severe respiratory distress due to nonimmune hydrops fetalis, a congenital chylothorax (CC), and pulmonary lymphangiectasia. Hydrops fetalis may be present in newborns with the Hennekam Syndrome. Lymphoscintigraphy can be useful in explaining pleural-pulmonary involvement of this generalized lymph vessel malformation Syndrome. (C) 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc

lymphoscintigraphic evaluation of congenital lymphedema of the newborn
Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2002Co-Authors: Carlo Bellini, Francesco Boccardo, Massimo Mazzella, Cesare Arioni, Gioconda Taddei, Corradino Campisi, Giovanni SerraAbstract:The authors present a case of the Hennekam Syndrome diagnosed in a newborn. Lymphedema is usually present in this Syndrome, and the lymphoscintigraphic imaging findings for its detection are discussed. This case confirms the utility of lymphoscintigraphy in providing important physiologic and anatomic information for presurgical planning. An etiologic diagnosis could possibly be obtained. The procedure is relatively easy to perform, safe, reliable, minimally invasive, and not uncomfortable for the patient. It should be considered a valuable diagnostic tool, especially in newborns, in whom conventional contrast lymphoangiography is difficult to perform.

lymphedema lymphangiectasia mental retardation Hennekam Syndrome a review
American Journal of Medical Genetics, 2002Co-Authors: Inge D C Van Balkom, Carlo Bellini, Mariel Alders, J E Allanson, Ulrich Frank, Greetje De Jong, Ingeborg Kolbe, D Lacombe, Stan Rockson, Peter C RoweAbstract:The Hennekam Syndrome is an infrequently reported heritable entity characterized by lymphedema, lymphangiectasia, and developmental delay. Here we add an additional 8 patients, and compare their findings to the 16 cases from the literature. The lymphedema is usually congenital, can be markedly asymmetrical, and, often, gradually progressive. Complications such as erysipelas are common. The lymphangiectasias are present in the intestines, but have also been found in the pleura, pericardium, thyroid gland, and kidney. Several patients have demonstrated congenital cardiac and blood vessel anomalies, pointing to a disturbance of angiogenesis in at least some of the patients. Facial features are variable, and are chiefly characterized, in a typical patient, by a flat face, flat and broad nasal bridge, and hypertelorism. Facial features are thought to mirror the extent of intrauterine facial lymphedema, or may be caused by lymphatic obstruction that affects the early migration of neural crest tissue. Other anomalies have included glaucoma, dental anomalies, hearing loss, and renal anomalies. The psychomotor development varies widely, even within a single family, from almost normal development to severe mental retardation. Convulsions are common. The existence of 10 familial cases, equal sex ratio, increased parental consanguinity rate (4/20 families), and absence of vertical transmission are consistent with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. It seems likely that most (but not all) manifestations of the entity can be explained as sequences of impaired prenatal and postnatal lymphatic flow, suggesting that the causative gene(s) should have a major function in lymphangiogenesis.
