Description : Bendon et al. (1987) described 2 male infant sibs with a syndrome of multiple congenital
anomalies, namely, hydranencephaly with multinucleated neurons, hypoplastic kidneys,
and syndactyly of the second and third toes. In both sibs the cranial cavity was filled
with fluid, with a rudimentary brain weighing only 14 or 15 grams present at the base
of the skull. (The mean normal weight of the brain at 35 weeks of gestation is 280
grams.) *FIELD* RF 1. Bendon, R. W.; Siddiqi, T.; de Courten-Myers, G.; Dignan, P.:
