Extractions: Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a rare and lethal autosomal recessive disorder characterized by occipital encephalocele, postaxial polydactyly and bilateral dysplastic cystic kidneys. It can be associated with many other conditions. Antenatal ultrasound examination can establish the correct diagnosis by identifying at least two of the major features described. A twenty-five-year-old woman with 16 weeks amenorrhea was referred for a second trimester ultrasonogram to detect fetal anomalies. There was history of first-degree consanguinity. The patient had two previous second trimester abortions. Records were not available and the patient stated that both the abortions were due to abnormal kidneys. Ultrasonography was done using GE logiq 500 PRO equipment, with a 4MHz Curvilinear transducer. The scan revealed bilateral enlarged hyperechoic kidneys (Fig.1,2), occipital encephalocele (Fig.3), six digits in all four limbs (Fig.4) and bilateral clubfeet. Though there was no oligohydramnios the fetal urinary bladder was not visualised both in the initial scan and in all repeat scans done over a period of two days.
