Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We report a fetus with atelencephaly, bilateral radial aplasia/hypoplasia, ventriculoseptal defect and megacolon, this combination of anomalies being consistent with the diagnosis of XK-aprosencephaly syndrome. The facial dysmorphology of this fetus differs from that previously reported and together with reports on overlapping phenotypes suggests an extension of the XK-aprosencephaly spectrum.
