Prenatal diagnosis of del(11)(p13p15).

Prenat Diagn

Department of Pathology, Toronto General Hospital, Canada.

Published: January 1988

Prenatal diagnosis of del(11)(p13p15) was made on cultured amniotic fluid cells and confirmed on fetal skin fibroblasts after termination of pregnancy. Both irides appeared behind schedule in development by 2-3 weeks in reference to the gestational age of the fetus. It is suggested that the aniridia of the aniridia--Wilms tumour association is due to developmental arrest. Confirmation of this complex is difficult at mid-gestation without critical pathological study of the eyes.

Background: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder is a fatal condition responsible for obstetric haemorrhage, which contributes to increased feto-maternal morbidity and mortality. The main contributing factor is a scarred uterus, often from a previous cesarean delivery, myomectomy, or uterine instrumentation. The occurrence of PAS in an unscarred uterus is extremely rare, with only anecdotal cases reported so far in the literature.
