Goldenhar syndrome: a rare diagnosis with possible prenatal findings.

ABSTRACT: Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital disease associated with hemifacial hypoplasia as well as ear and ocular defects. Sometimes it is also associated with vertebral and other bone defects, cardiac malformations and central nervous system anomalies. Its aetiology is not yet clarified in the literature. We present a case of multiple malformations detected in the morphology ultrasound (at 22?weeks of gestation), namely absent nasal bones, micrognathia and absent left radius, among other defects. Genetic counselling, fetal brain MRI and cardiac sonography, which showed ventricular septal defect, were performed. 11 syndromes with poor fetal or neonatal prognosis were identified as possible diagnosis, using a genetic database and the couple asked for a medical termination of pregnancy. Postmortem examination has shown features consistent with Goldenhar syndrome.

Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome: A Rare Case of Prenatal Diagnosis.

Project description:With the widespread uptake of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), a larger cohort of women has access to fetal chromosomal sex, which increases the potential to identify prenatal sex discordance. The prenatal diagnosis of androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is an incidental and rare finding. We wish to present the diagnosis of a prenatal index case after NIPT of cell-free fetal DNA and mismatch between fetal sex and ultrasound phenotype. In this particular case, the molecular analysis of the androgen receptor (AR) gene showed the presence of a pathogenic mutation, not previously reported, consistent with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. Carrier testing for the mother revealed the presence of the same variant, confirming maternal hemizygous inheritance. Identification of the molecular basis of these genetic conditions enables the preimplantation or prenatal diagnosis in future pregnancies.

Prenatal diagnosis of Chudley-McCullough syndrome.

Project description:Chudley-McCullough syndrome (CMS) is an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by a complex brain malformation and profound congenital sensorineural hearing loss. Postnatal brain imaging findings include ventriculomegaly, partial agenesis of corpus callosum, inferior cerebellar dysplasia, arachnoid cysts, and malformations of cortical development including frontal subcortical heterotopia and polymicrogyria. Prenatal diagnosis of CMS is important due to the markedly less severe neurodevelopmental prognosis compared to disorders with similar brain imaging findings. We report prenatal imaging features that help distinguish CMS from other disorders, including slit-like frontal horns, agenesis of the corpus callosum, frontal subcortical heterotopia, arachnoid cysts, and cerebellar dysplasia. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Prenatal Diagnosis and Findings in Ureteropelvic Junction Type Hydronephrosis.

Project description:The widespread use of obstetric ultrasonography has increased the detection rate of antenatal hydronephrosis. Although most cases of antenatal hydronephrosis are transient, one third persists and becomes clinically important. Ultrasound has made differential diagnosis possible to some extent. Ureteropelvic junction type hydronephrosis (UPJHN) is one of the most common cause of persistent fetal hydronephrosis and occurs three times more in male fetuses. It is usually sporadic and unilateral. However, when bilateral kidneys are involved and presents with severe hydronephrosis, the prognosis may be poor. Typical ultrasound findings of UPJHN is hydronephrosis without hydroureter. The size and appearance of the fetal bladder is usually normal without thickening of the bladder wall. Several grading systems are developed and increasingly being used to define the severity of prenatal hydronephrosis and provides much more information about prediction of postnatal renal prognosis. If fetal urinary tract dilation is detected; laterality, severity of hydronephrosis, echogenicity of the kidneys, presence of ureter dilation should be assessed. Bladder volume and emptying, sex of the fetus, amniotic fluid volume, and presence of associated malformations should be evaluated. Particularly the ultrasonographic signs of renal dysplasia, such as increased renal parenchymal echogenicity, thinning of the renal cortex, the presence of cortical cysts, and co-existing oligohydramnios should be noticed. Unfortunately, there is no reliable predictor of renal function in UPJHN cases. Unilateral hydronephrosis cases suggesting UPJHN are mostly followed up conservatively. However, the cases with bilateral involvement are still difficult to manage. Timing of delivery is also controversial.

A Rare Diagnosis: Keutel Syndrome.

Project description:Tracheobronchial cartilage calcification is a rare finding in the pediatric population. Keutel syndrome (OMIM 245150) is a very rare syndrome characterized with diffuse calcification of cartilage, brachytelephalangia, pulmonary stenosis, midline defects, stippled epiphysis in infancy, and hearing loss accompanied by recurrent respiratory infections and asthma-like attacks. Here, we present a 14-year-old patient who was followed up with the diagnosis of asthma, but did not respond to appropriate asthma treatment. She was subsequently diagnosed as having Keutel syndrome with cartilage calcification on the tracheobranchial tree and auricula, atypical facial features, recurrent otitis media, hearing loss, and recurrent asthma-like symptoms.

Prenatal findings of cataract and arthrogryposis: recurrence of cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome and review of differential diagnosis.

Project description:BackgroundCerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome (COFS) is a severe and progressive neurologic condition characterized by prenatal onset of arthrogryposis, cataract, microcephaly and growth failure. The aim of this study was to present a case of recurrence of the COFS syndrome and to propose a differential diagnosis flow-chart in case of prenatal findings of arthrogryposis and cataract.Case presentationWe report a case of recurrence of COFS3 syndrome within the same family, with similar diagnostic features. In the first case the COFS syndrome remained undiagnosed, while in the second case, due to prenatal findings of arthrogryposis and cataract, genetic investigation focusing on responsible genes of COFS (ERCC5, ERCC6 and FKTN genes) was carried out. The fetus was found to be compound heterozygous for two different ERCC5 mutations, confirming the clinical suspect of COFS syndrome. A review of the literature on possible causative genes of prenatal cataract and arthrogryposis was performed and we present a flow-chart to guide differential diagnosis and possible genetic testing in case of these findings.ConclusionCOFS syndrome is a rare autosomic recessive condition. However, it can be suspected and diagnosed prenatally. The flow-chart illustrates a pathway to guide differential diagnosis according to the prenatal findings. Main syndromes, key testing and specific genes are included. Targeted molecular testing should be offered to the couple in order to reach a diagnosis and assess the recurrence risk for future pregnancies.

Meier-Gorlin syndrome with prenatal ultrasound findings and successful growth hormone therapy: Six years follow-up of a rare case.

Project description:Meire-Gorlin syndrome (MGS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a triad of short stature, microtia, and absent or hypoplastic patella. We report a 5-year-old male affected with the subtype MGS1, secondary to c.c2292t mutation of ORC1 gene. Our patient's features included a triangular face, micrognathia, and delayed motor development. To the edge of our knowledge, this is the first diagnosed Iranian MGS patient and sixth case in the middle east. MGS1 subtype has never shown improvement to growth hormone therapy, therefore underlying molecular defect was suggested to be responsible for patients' short stature rather than growth hormone deficiency. However, our patients' growth velocity was improved by growth hormone. We recommend more studies to specify the role of ORC1 gene in this syndrome. In addition, this case report describes the prenatal investigations and sonographic examinations of MGS1 for the first time.

Prenatal diagnosis of congenital high airway obstruction syndrome.

Project description:Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS) is a rare sequence due to a complete obstruction of the fetal airway that blocks the larynx or trachea, either intrinsic atresia or extrinsic compression (e.g., congenital neck mass). Despite the true incidence of CHAOS is unknown, an incidence of 1 per 50,000 newborns is described. If any obstruction occurs in the tracheobronchial airway, this secretion cannot be extricated. Because of this situation, a knock-on effect starts: the enlargement of the lungs squeezes the heart and great veins, what results in a replacement of the heart to the center of the chest becoming small and dysfunctional. Decreased venous return and the failure of cardiovascular system end in ascites and hydrops. The diaphragm planes or inverts according to the severity of the process. In case of unrecognized syndrome during the prenatal period, it usually results in stillbirth or death shortly after delivery. The overall prognosis remains fatal, and long-term medical and surgical challenges for survivors remain considerable even after overcoming fetal intervention.

A case of prenatal diagnosis of 18p deletion syndrome following noninvasive prenatal testing.

Project description:BackgroundChromosome 18p deletion syndrome is a disease caused by the complete or partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 18, there were few cases reported about the prenatal diagnosis of 18p deletion syndrome. Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is widely used in the screening of common fetal chromosome aneuploidy. However, the segmental deletions and duplications should also be concerned. Except that some cases had increased nuchal translucency or holoprosencephaly, most of the fetal phenotype of 18p deletion syndrome may not be evident during the pregnancy, 18p deletion syndrome was always accidentally discovered during the prenatal examination.Case presentationsIn our case, we found a pure partial monosomy 18p deletion during the confirmation of the result of NIPT by copy number variation sequencing (CNV-Seq). The result of NIPT suggested that there was a partial or complete deletion of X chromosome. The amniotic fluid karyotype was normal, but result of CNV-Seq indicated a 7.56 Mb deletion on the short arm of chromosome 18 but not in the couple, which means the deletion was de novo deletion. Finally, the parents chose to terminate the pregnancy.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first case of prenatal diagnosis of 18p deletion syndrome following NIPT.NIPT combined with ultrasound may be a relatively efficient method to screen chromosome microdeletions especially for the 18p deletion syndrome.

Prenatal sonographic findings in confirmed cases of Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome.

Project description:BackgroundWolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is a common genetic condition and prenatal diagnosis is difficult due to heterogeneous expression of this syndrome and rather non-specific ultrasound findings. Objective of this study was to examine the prenatal ultrasound findings in fetuses with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS).MethodsRetrospective assessment of 18 pregnancies that were seen at three tertiary referral centers (Universities of Bonn, Tuebingen and Nuernberg / Germany). Findings of prenatal ultrasound examinations, genetic results and outcome were compared. Additionally, findings of our study were compared to previous small case series from the literature and then compared to data on postnatal frequencies and abnormalities in affected patients.ResultsMedian gestational age at the time of examination was 23 + 1 weeks' (range: 13 + 4 to 29 + 1 weeks') with female-to-male ratio of > 2.5:1. Most frequent ultrasound findings were facial abnormalities, symmetric IUGR and microcephaly that presented in 94.4, 83.3 and 72.2% of cases, respectively. The combination of microcephaly and hypoplastic nasal bone was a particularly characteristic finding. Growth retardation presented in all fetuses > 20 weeks, but not below. Other frequent abnormalities included cardiac anomalies in 50 and single umbilical artery (SUA) in 44.4% of fetuses.ConclusionWHS should be considered in the presence of symmetric IUGR together with microcephaly, hypoplastic nasal bone and facial abnormalities on prenatal ultrasound. Genetic testing by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) is strongly recommended in this context.
