Abstract

Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a quite rare congenital disorder, characterized by posterior encepalocele, cleft palate and lip, polycystic kidneys, hepatic fibrosis with bile duct proliferation, and postaxial polydactyly and syndactyly. We experienced an autopsy case of M eckel-Gruber syndrome in a second baby of 28 year-old woman. At 26 weeks of gestation, congenital anomaly was detected on ultrasonographic examination and the pregnancy was terminated. Familial history was not noted.
