✦ Synopsis
Kleeblattschadel syndrome or cloverleaf skull syndrome is a n unusual and rare form of congenital hydrocephaly caused by premature fusion of the coronal and lambdoidal sutures. The resultant increased intracranial pressure causes formation of a grotesque trilobed skull. Other associated anomalies include low-set ears and petrous ridges, varying degrees of exophthalmos, facial deformities, long-bone abnormalities, and gastrointestinal tract abnormalities. This report describes the intrauterine sonographic appearance of such an infant.
