Case Of The Month September 1998 Diagnosis meckelgruber syndrome. A few days later her pregnancy was terminatedwith a Because the meckel-gruber syndrome is a recessive disease, http://www.obgyn.net/us/cotm/9809/cotm_9809.htm
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.

Extractions: Congenital heart disease can have diverse causes. The causes include environmental factors (such as chemicals, drugs or infections), certain maternal diseases, chromosome abnormalities, genetic diseases, and unknown (idiopathic) factors. Environmental factors sometimes are at fault. For example, if a mother catches German measles (rubella) during pregnancy, the infection can impair the development of her unborn baby's heart (and other organs). If the mother consumes alcohol during pregnancy, the fetus can suffer from
