Meckel-Gruber syndrome: prenatal diagnosis at 10 menstrual weeks using embryoscopy.
A case of Meckel-Gruber syndrome was diagnosed by embryoscopy at 10 menstrual weeks, allowing for early termination of pregnancy. Post-mortem examination confirmed the presence of polydactyly and bilateral cystic lesions of the mesonephros and metanephros. Both the forming nephrons and the collecting ducts were involved in the formation of renal cysts.
