Prenatal diagnosis of Dandy-Walker malformation associated with distal limb deficiencies.
We report the perinatal findings of a 23 gestational-week fetus with Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM), ventriculomegaly, symmetrical transverse limb deficiencies, hypertelorism, frontal bossing, low-set ears, and a depressed nasal bridge. The karyotype was 46,XX. We believe that this combination is significant. Concomitant DWM and symmetrical distal limb deficiencies may represent a new entity that awaits more new cases for further delineation.
