We report on two siblings with recurrent non-immune hydrops fetalis of unknown etiology. The proposita was born at 32-week gestation with hydrops fetalis. She died at less than 1 hr of age despite resuscitative efforts. Her brother was born 1 1/2 years later to the same parents. He was also born at
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is one of the most frequent congenital infections, affecting 0.2-2% of all live births. Approximately 30-50% of pregnant women are seronegative at the beginning of pregnancy, and 1% will develop primary infection during pregnancy. Fetal CMV infection is
We report on a family in which two sibs had apparently absent ribs and severe micrognathia on prenatal ultrasonography. The pregnancies were terminated at 19 and 12 weeks of gestation, respectively. Autopsy findings in the first fetus (19 weeks of gestation) included severe micrognathia, a U-shaped
Three unrelated stillborn infants (cases 1-3) are presented here with a distinct constellation of multiple anomalies: namely, multiple pterygia involving chin-to-sternum, cervical, axillary, antecubital, crural and/or popliteal areas, flexion contractures of multiple joints, small chest, hydrops,
Neu-Laxova syndrome (NLS) is a lethal, autosomal recessive multiple malformation syndrome with many features resulting from severe skin restriction and decreased fetal movement. It is characterized by ichthyosis, marked intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), microcephaly, short neck, central
We describe initial observations of an infant with dermatosparaxis (another form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, designated as type VIIC), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by skin fragility and described in several species of domesticated animals. Electron microscopic examination of the skin
Young female random-bred Wistar rats were immunized with homologous renal brush border membranes. The immunized animals exhibited all the clinical and immunopathological characteristics of chronic autologous immune complex glomerulonephritis (Heymann nephritis) closely resembling the idiopathic
BACKGROUND
Partial deletion of the long arm of the chromosome 13 is a rare chromosomal aberration and may present with microcephaly, colobomata, microphthalmia, distal limb and digital anomalies, cardiac defects, brain and urogenital malformations, anal atresia and growth restriction.
METHODS
We
Proximal deletion of 6q is a relatively rare chromosomal abnormality. Reported patients have deletions of different sizes but share partial overlap and present with similar clinical features, and some of them were described prior to the introduction of chromosome microarrays. We describe a male
We investigated the influence of the lathyrogenic compound aminoacetonitrile (AAN) on fetogenesis of the rat. In late pregnancy AAN induces nonspecific toxic effects resulting in hemorrhages, edema, disturbance of weight development, and severe interaction with viability. In fetogenesis AAN induces
We present a case of fetal Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome diagnosed by conventional two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasonography. Conventional two-dimensional ultrasonography revealed a diaphragmatic hernia, nuchal edema, and suspected hypospadias. Three-dimensional ultrasonography clearly showed
Larsen syndrome is characterized by multiple joint dislocations, associated with a typical facial appearance and frequently other abnormalities. Both dominant and recessive patterns of inheritance have been reported. A lethal form of Larsen syndrome (Larsen-like syndrome) has been described as a
Neu-Laxova syndrome (NLS) is a lethal autosomal recessive microcephaly syndrome associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and multiple congenital anomalies. Clinical features include central nervous system malformations, joint contractures, ichthyosis, edema, and dysmorphic facial
Cerebro-costo-mandibular syndrome (CCMS) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by micrognathia, posterior rib gaps, and secondary developmental delay. Patients often require ventilation and feeding support throughout life. We describe the first reported ophthalmic findings of CCMS and propose
BACKGROUND
Thoracopelvic dysplasia, a variant of asphyxiating thoracic dysplasia (Jeune syndrome), is an uncommon skeletal disorder characterized by a small thorax, pelvic abnormalities and other complex, combined anomalies, including hypomelia, polydactyly and renal anomalies.
METHODS
