title: Ultrasound and genetic features of a term triploid pregnancy.
abstract: A 69,XXY triploid term infant is reported to demonstrate the prenatal sonographic findings of first trimester intrauterine growth retardation as an important early indicator of this diagnosis. Progressive lag in early sonographic dating for gestational age should raise suspicion of triploidy, which can lead to an early diagnosis, genetic counseling, and a realistic management plan.
