Case report

This is 24th week scan of a woman with unremarkable history. She didn"t undergo triple test and first trimester ultrasonography during her pregnancy. Our investigation revealed:

  • Clinodactyly of the right hand with small thumb in abnormal position;

  • Severe ectrodactyly of the left hand (deep split hand with two rudimentary fingers);

  • Transposition of the great arteries and atrioventricular discordance wit atrioventricular defect;

  • Moderate polyhydramnios;

The amniocentesis revealed normal karyotype (46, XY) and a normal amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein level. The baby was delivered at 33 weeks (1900g) and the esophageal and anal atresias were discovered postnatally requiring surgical treatment. The heart and limbs anomalies were confirmed.
