Can you find some more sources? The "syndrome" is marked in italics, and the condition is described as hydrocephaly. It doesn't they were actually attempting to label this as an actual on the books condition. It seems this was just a way of describing it. Beach drifter (talk) 18:01, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After a little more reading I think a good idea would be to put a sub section in the Hydrocephalus article. Any thoughts? Beach drifter (talk) 18:09, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a fairly authoritative source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17918536 The names look familiar - I think this is an article still under construction (with reminders to be filled in). The condition is connected with but not a part of hydrocephalus. I'd say keep a watch on it and see how it goes. It's a rare condition, but there's a lot of ghits for it. Looks worthy of its own article to me.

Name capitalisation

(Almost) all the other syndromes listed at Category:Syndromes are spelled lower case, except where a word derives from a proper name. As this syndrome isn't, after all, named after Dr. Bobblehead and Prof. Doll, I propose to move it to simply Bobble-head doll syndrome (and to change text here and inbound links accordingly). -- Finlay McWalter ☻ Talk 18:07, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've now done this. -- Finlay McWalter ☻ Talk 18:14, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
