Sanjad Sakati syndrome (SSS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder seen among the Arab population and is characterized by congenital hypothyroidism, growth retardation, and dysmorphism. As a complication for that, the patient may present with several metabolic and septic complications. None of the patients in literature was described to have hydrocephalus. This case report aims at describing a case with SSS who presented to our center with hydrocephalus, which is to our knowledge the first case with this unusual presentation to be described in literature. In this report, we will also convey our experience in treating this complicated case and the way we dealt with the complications encountered during the hospital stay.
Keywords: Hydrocephalus; Programmable ventriculoperotineal shunt; Sanjad Sakati syndrome.
