✦ Synopsis
We describe two sib fetuses with situs inversus, cystic dysplastic kidney and pancreas, bowing of the lower limbs and clavicles, severe intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), and oligohydramnios. Early prenatal diagnosis of pancreatic and dysplastic renal cysts and situs inversus totalis were made in the 18-week-old fetus. This syndrome differs from that of Ivemark and related syndromes because of the presence of situs inversus totalis and absence of hepatic fibrosis and cysts. The parents were first cousins, and did not have any cysts of kidney, liver, or pancreas detected by ultrasonography. Am.

We describe two consecutive mid-trimester fetuses of different sexes with identical anomalies of the upper limbs and the kidneys in association with severe ventriculomegaly. We compare this apparently autosomal recessive syndrome to VACTERL-H association, Fanconi anemia, and two other, so far unpara
Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by diffuse neurodysplasia, resulting in brain and eye abnormalities. We report on 3 prenatally diagnosed cases of this syndrome born to a consanguineous couple. An ultrasonographic examination showed hydrocephalus at th
