MCA syndrome with renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia, posterior fossa cyst, symmetrical limb deficiencies, cleft palate, cardiac and Müllerian duct anomalies

Am J Med Genet. 2002 Jan 22;107(3):233-6. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.10131.

Abstract

We report the second trimester prenatal diagnosis of severe symmetrical limb deficiencies with posterior fossa cyst and cardiac anomaly in a female fetus. Fetopathological examination revealed additional anomalies: renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia, cleft palate, and Müllerian duct anomaly. The spectrum of congenital malformations in the present observation is difficult to classify into a single syndrome entity and presents an overlap with several syndromes: Roberts syndrome, Goldston syndrome, and renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia.
