title: [Triploidy in newborn infants].
abstract: Human triploidy, a common condition occurring in about 1 to 2% of all clinically recognizable pregnancies, is a rare finding in live-born children. Not more than 44 live-born triploid infants have been reported in the available literature. Triploid infants surviving for more than a few days have been suspected to be hidden mosaicisms and mostly have turned out to be diploid-triploid mosaics. We observed two live-born female infants with a complete triploidy and describe the typical clinical picture.
