Foetal Akinesia Deformation Sequence: A Rare Lethal Entity.

Foetal akinesia deformation sequence (FADS) represents a group of disorders resulting from absent or diminished in utero foetal mobility. The aetiology is multifactorial, including genetic, environmental, maternal, and foetal causes. The absence of foetal movements leading to multiple joint contractures, pulmonary hypoplasia, and intrauterine growth restriction are the key features of foetal akinesia deformation sequence.
