Abstract

We report a case of a 29 year old female. Ultrasound examination showed a fetus with: cleft lip and cleft palate, ocular hypertelorism, polydactyly and polycystic kidney. Amniocentesis was performed and the fetal chromosomal analysis indicated a normal cytogenetic female, karyotype: 46XX. Further genetic investigations were done. After genetical counseling the parents decided to terminate the pregnancy. The autopsy confirmed the ultrasound findings.
