The prenatal diagnosis of dup(3p) was made in a female conceptus, the father being a known carrier of a balanced translocation t(3; lO)(p21 ;q26). Interruption of pregnancy at 19 weeks showed a fetus with a holoprosencephaly field defect. Two other cases of dup(3p) have been observed in the same fam

✦ Synopsis
We present the prenatal 3-dimensional (3D) sonographic findings in a case of holoprosencephaly with ethmocephaly at 32 weeks' gestation. The sonographic diagnosis was based on the intracranial findings of a single ventricle and bulb-shaped appearance of the thalami and facial abnormalities, including hypotelorism with proboscis. Chromosome study of the fetus revealed a normal female karyotype (46,XX). Postmortem examination confirmed the 3D sonographic findings. This case demonstrates that the use of 3D sonography improves the imaging and the understanding of the condition of the intracranial abnormalities and the facial anomalies.
