Neuroblastoma is well recognized in the newborn, and has also been detected in the fetus. We report a case of metastases in the liver diagnosed in utero and later confirmed to be from a neuroblastoma of the left adrenal gland.
The prenatal ultrasound identiยฎcation of a cleft lip and palate, equinovarus feet with severe lower limb malposition and genital abnormalities led to the prenatal diagnosis of popliteal pterygium syndrome in a pregnant mother suspected to have a mild expression of this autosomal dominant condition.
Apert syndrome is a rare craniosynostosis syndrome with significant bilateral syndactyly of the hands and feet. Usually it is detected by ultrasonography during the third trimester unless there is a family history. We present an interesting sporadic case with features consistent with Apert syndrome
