Prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of the popliteal pterygium syndrome.
The prenatal ultrasound identification of a cleft lip and palate, equinovarus feet with severe lower limb malposition and genital abnormalities led to the prenatal diagnosis of popliteal pterygium syndrome in a pregnant mother suspected to have a mild expression of this autosomal dominant condition. However, in sporadic cases with lack of a family history for this rare syndrome, prenatal diagnosis may be difficult to ascertain.
