Abstract

A female fetus with an unusual collection of congenital anomalies was detected prenatally. The pregnancy was terminated at 21 weeks of gestation. Clinical and pathological findings of bilateral cleft lip and palate, micrognathia, thymic hypoplasia, unilateral 1-2 finger syndactyly, bilateral multicystic dysplastic kidneys and heterotopic olivary tissue are presented. Differential diagnoses are discussed. © 2006 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
