Extractions: Meckel syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by abnormalities affecting several organ systems of the body (multisystem). Three classic symptoms are normally associated with Meckel syndrome: protrusion of a portion of the brain and its surrounding membranes (meninges) through a defect in the back or front of the skull (occipital encephalocele), multiple cysts on the kidneys (polycystic kidneys), and extra fingers and/or toes (polydactyly). Affected children may also have abnormalities affecting the head and face (craniofacial area), liver, lungs, and genitourinary tract. Meckel syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.

Extractions: 1. In 1992 a 27 year old woman was seen in our obstetric ultrasound department, because of routine sonography for her first pregnancy of 16 weeks and 4 days. Her general history were negative, as was her family history. The ultrasound showed dilated ventricles and an occipital encephalocele. Both kidneys showed multiple cysts (picture 1.) Diagnosis: Meckel-Gruber syndrome. A few days later her pregnancy was terminated with a sulproston infusion. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis. Next to the already described malformations the right foot counted 6 toes, while the left hand showed an extra finger. Because the Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a recessive disease, she was told that she had a 25% chance of having an affected fetus in her next pregnancy. 2. Five months later she reported a new pregnancy. At 9 weeks she seemed to have a normal ultrasound, but at 12 weeks a cranial cyst was seen (picture 2.). Pathology: because of the curettage it was difficult to recognize fetal parts. However two hands with 6 fingers each were found. This seems a confirmation of the diagnosis M-G syndrome.

ABSTRACT. Seven cases in two families are reported of the Meckel syndrome; two sets of male identical twins in one family, and three affected siblings in another. The key features of this syndrome are occipital encephalocele, cleft lip and palate, polydactyly, and polycystic kidneys. Additional malformations frequently found include microcephaly, micrognathia, absence
