JABL: Hydrocephalus occurring in conjunction with defects which are included in VACTERL association (vertebral anomalies, anal atresia, cardiac abnormalities, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal agenesis, and limb defects). Additional abnormalities may include microphthalmia, abnormal lung lobulation, and spleen defects. Two basic forms are recognized: The David-O'Callaghan syndrome and the Hunter-MacMurray syndrome which are almost identical, except for cardiovascular malformations which are present only in the first type and the mode of transmission. Prognosis for survival is generally poor; infants who survive are usually retarded.
