Aim: To investigate the morphometric and morphological development of the medial surface of the cerebrum in 40 fetal cadavers without external anomalies and pathologies between the gestational ages of 22 and 40 weeks.

Material And Methods: In this study, we measured the height and width of the cerebral hemisphere, cingulate sulcus, marginal sulcus, sulcus of the corpus callosum, calcarine sulcus, parieto-occipital sulcus, and central sulcus in each hemisphere. We examined these measures between genders and sides and assessed how these parameters developed over the course of gestational age (measured in months).

Article Synopsis
  • Pathogenic variants in the FKRP gene cause various muscular dystrophies, including Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 9 (LGMDR9), which is notably prevalent in Italy.
  • A study analyzed 153 patients from Southern Italy showing Duchenne/Becker-like symptoms, identifying pathogenic variants in 16 individuals, with specific variants frequently found.
  • The findings emphasize the need to include LGMDR9 in the diagnosis of dystrophinopathies, aiming to improve the identification and management of affected patients in Calabria.

Walker-Warburg Syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous disease with autosomal recessive inheritance characterized by brain and eye deformities, profound mental retardation, congenital muscular dystrophy, and early death. This case study demonstrates a mutation on chromosome 12q14 in the TMEM5 gene (RXYLT1; 605862), which encodes a transmembrane protein with glycosyltransferase function. We present a case of a full-term male baby delivered by Cesarean section due to macrocephaly.

Tubulinopathies are associated with malformations of cortical development but not Walker-Warburg Syndrome. Intensive monitoring of a Croatian infant presenting as Walker-Warburg Syndrome in utero began at 21 weeks due to increased growth of cerebral ventricles and foetal biparietal diameter. Monitoring continued until Caesarean delivery at 34 weeks where the infant was eutrophic.
