In six fetuses with Meckel syndrome (gestational age 16-23 weeks, crown-rump length 130-170 mm) the skeleton was examined as part of the autopsy procedure using whole body radiography and special radiographic techniques.

β¦ Synopsis
We describe a female patient with multiple anomalies suggestive of a new syndrome. Manifestations include: VSD and ASD, mild developmental delay, conductive hearing loss, minor facial anomalies, thrombocytopenia, and radiological findings (including carpal fusion). Some of these manifestations may be present in the Keutel syndrome, IVIC syndrome, and the lOqter deletion syndrome. However, none of these syndromes can explain the spectrum of anomalies seen in our patient.
