title: Dandy-Walker malformation in a fetus with pentasomy X (49,XXXXX) prenatally diagnosed by fluorescence in situ hybridization technique.
abstract: We present the case of a pentasomy X (49,XXXXX) prenatally diagnosed. The fluorescent in situ hybridization technique assisted in making the diagnosis. The problems identified in this fetus include a Dandy-Walker malformation, hydrocephaly, ventricular septal defect, hypertelorism and polyhydramnios.
