Abstract
We describe a nonconsanguineous couple whose 3 successive pregnancies, including one pair of twins, led to the birth of 4 infants with short ribโpolydactyly syndrome (SRPS). Flat face, hypoplastic thorax, short limbs and ribs, polydactyly, absence of penis, and death after birth were noted in the first affected male baby. The affected female twins were detected prenatally by ultrasonography and had the same characteristics, but milder than the previous one. Serial measurements of the thoracic circumference and the 4 limbs were obtained by ultrasound, and showed progressively decreased ratio of thoracic to abdominal circumference and shortness of the limbs. The last male baby also had a similar but variable expression in prenatal ultrasonography. ยฉ 1995 WileyโLiss, Inc.

Short rib-polydactyly syndrome (SRPS) is manifested by short-limb dwarfism, short ribs with thoracic hypoplasia, and polydactyly. This inheritable syndrome has distinct imaging findings on prenatal sonography, and ancillary findings on both pre- and postnatal assessments may enable individual cases

Short-rib polydactyly dysplasia (SRP) is an autosomal recessive, lethal skeletal dysplasia. Sonographic assessment of subsequent pregnancies is, therefore, recommended. This case indicates that this diagnosis can be made in the latter part of the first trimester. A 30-year-old multigravid woman pre
