Intrauterine Detected Meckel-Gruber Syndrome: A case report

Submitted : 14.11.2014 Accepted : 02.12.2014 Published: 28.01.2015

Abstract

A 34-year-old woman during her second pregnancy, applied to our perinatology clinic for triple test. Posterior encephalocele, oligohydramnios, polycystic kidneys and polydactyly were identified in the ultrasound examination. Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MGS) was considered. A detailed briefing was given to the pregnant woman and termination option was introduced. The pregnancy was terminated at 18 weeks of gestation with the choice of the family. Autopsy results also confirmed the diagnosis.
MGS is a syndrome that should be differentiated from trisomy 13 in the perinatal period and the final diagnosis is confirmed by autopsy after termination. The hereditary process should be explained to the family. We think that early diagnosis and termination of this fatal syndrome would be very helpful for reducing maternal physical and psychological trauma.
Here, we discussed this rare and fatal syndrome in the light of literature.
