The clinical features of a 46,XX fetus with dysmorphic facial features, mild dilatation of the lateral ventricles of the brain, and female external and male internal genitalia are described. This combination of abnormalities does not appear to have been reported previously, and may represent a new syndrome.

A unique case of recurrent fetal cystic hygroma: first fetus with an inherited heteromorphism of chromosome 1 (1qh+) and the second fetus with 69XXX triploidy.

The authors report a unique recurrent septated cystic hygroma (CH), on two successive pregnancies, at five years interval. The chromosome analysis of the first fetus showed an increase in length of heterochromatin on the long arm of chromosome 1 - 1qh+, a chromosomal polymorphism inherited from mother, 46XX,1qh+,14ps+,21ps+. The karyotype of the second CH, with more severe ultrasound (US) imaging, showed a 69XXX triploidy.

Background: In the entire population, an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is closely associated with chromosomal abnormalities. ARSA with additional ultrasonic findings would increase risk of chromosomal abnormalities. The risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities increased exponentially with the maternal age.

Detailed clinical and pathological features of placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) complicated by preeclampsia (PE) are unknown. A 39-year-old nulliparous woman was referred at 19 weeks gestation. Ultrasound examination identified a fetus with severe growth restriction (-2.

Twin pregnancies complicated by complete hydatidiform mole coexisting with a viable fetus are rare and may result in significant complications. We describe the expectant management and our surgical approach in a 27-year-old Rh-negative woman presenting with recurrent episodes of vaginal bleeding and a twin pregnancy consisting of a molar pregnancy coexisting with a normal fetus. Inpatient management was undertaken with close maternal and fetal monitoring until cesarean delivery of a healthy female infant and histopathologically confirmed complete hydatidiform molar pregnancy (karyotype 46XX) at 34 weeks with no evidence of malignancy.

Article Synopsis
  • Turner’s syndrome (TS) is a condition caused by the complete or partial absence of an X chromosome, affecting about 1 in 2200 live-born females, often diagnosed through karyotype analysis due to issues like pregnancy loss or IVF failures.
  • In a case involving a 32-year-old patient who underwent IVF after ICSI-PGD and was diagnosed with a 45X/46XX karyotype, a fetal anomaly (upper limb hemimelia) was detected at the 12-week scan, leading to the termination of that fetus.
  • The case highlights the increased risk of fetal anomalies in mosaic TS pregnancies, emphasizing the need for careful prenatal monitoring even with selected normal karyotype embryos.
