A severe and rapidly progressive case of proteus syndrome in a neonate who presented with unilateral hydrocephalus apart from other typical features of the proteus syndrome.
[proteus syndrome]
Proteus
syndrome
is
a
rare
hamartomatous
disorder
affecting
multiple
tissues
and
manifesting
itself
in
a
variety
of
ways
.
The
understanding
of
the
complete
spectrum
of
clinical
features
,
the
natural
clinical
course
of
the
disease
and
the
proper
management
of
such
a
rare
but
highly
variable
syndrome
depend
heavily
on
experiences
gathered
by
previously
reported
cases
.
We
present
an
unusually
severely
affected
and
rapidly
progressive
case
of
proteus
syndrome
in
a
neonate
who
presented
with
craniofacial
hemihypertrophy
,
subcutaneous
masses
,
capillary
hemangioma
,
varicose
veins
,
epidermal
nevi
and
macrodactyly
.
The
cranial
ultrasonogram
revealed
unilateral
hydrocephalus
with
partial
obstruction
of
the
foramen
of
monro
.
