    Notes: Abstract Following genetic counselling of a consanguineous couple because of a daughter born with peripheral hypoplasia of the left arm, ultrasonographic examination during the second pregnancy revealed marked hydrocephalus of the fetus in the 17th week of pregnancy. Pathologic examination of the female fetus disclosed severe cerebral, cardiac, and skeletal malformations including holoprosencephaly, absent corpus callosum, microphthalmia, facial clefts, tetramelic octodactyly, and cardiac defects. These findings indicate a possible genetically determined syndrome that appears to be distinct in spite of some overlap with other malformation syndromes.

    Notes: Abstract A case is described in which the family history and the sonographic findings during the 17th gestational week led to the suspicion of a short-rib-polydactylia syndrome of the Saldino-Noonan type and an abortion was induced. The ultrasound image disclosed cystic structures in the topographic area of the kidney, marked ascites and oligohydramnios and indicated a severe fetal developmental disturbance. Due to the oligohydramnios the extremities could not be interpreted sonographically. The pathological-anatomical findings confirmed the suspected short-rib-polydactylia syndrome of the Saldino-Noonan type. Typical skeletal changes, dysgenetic cystic kidneys and pancreatic fibrosis were especially indicative of the syndrome. The complete agenesia of the islets of Langerhans, present in our observation, has, as far as we know, previously not been reported in the case of short-rib-polydactylia syndromes.
