Brachmann-de Lange syndrome: a cause of early symmetric fetal growth delay

G Boog et al. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 1999 Aug.

Abstract

Brachmann-de Lange syndrome is characterized by pre- and postnatal growth retardation, microbrachycephaly, hirsutism, various visceral and limb anomalies and a typical face. A sonographic prenatal diagnosis at mid-trimester is reported in a case of severe, symmetrical fetal growth delay at 20 weeks gestation, with a thickened skin on the forehead, a small nose and a marked depressed nasal bridge, a long philtrum, micrognathia and a persistently flexed right forearm, with a single bone associated to oligodactyly. Due to the severe mental impairment with a commonly estimated intelligence quotient under 60, the pregnancy was terminated after parental consent.
