title: [Meckel-Gruber syndrome].
abstract: The lethal Meckel-Gruber-Syndrome can be diagnosed prenatally during ultrasound screening between 16 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. Two case reports of Meckel-Gruber-Syndrome are given, which demonstrate the importance of a reliable ultrasound examination. The results supply the basis for an adequate counseling of the patient with the option of pregnancy termination in case of the lethal syndrome.
