For termination of a pregnancy up until the 12th week, the method of choice is suction curettage. The dilation of the cervical canal is made easier and sometimes the embryo is aborted if a viscid preparation containing Prostaglandin F 22 is injected intracervically 12 hours prior to the scheduled procedure. For termination of pregnancy after the 14th week, prostaglandin is superior to all other methods. It can be used intraamnially, extra-amnially or intravenously. Not enough information and experience is available in Europe regarding the intravaginal application.

Gastroschisis represents a congenital malformation characterized by the herniation of abdominal contents through a defect in the abdominal wall, predominantly situated to the right of the umbilical cord. The defect is characterized by the absence of a covering membrane, resulting in the free floating of extruded abdominal contents. Major complications associated with this condition include stillbirth, preterm delivery, and intrauterine growth restriction.

Rationale: Microcephaly, epilepsy, and developmental delay (MCSZ) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder associated with autosomal recessive inheritance of mutations in the polynucleotide kinase 3'-phosphatase (PNKP) gene. Prompt identification and management are essential, as delayed diagnosis or intervention may result in severe complications or mortality. In this case, prenatal screening in the second trimester detected fetal microcephaly with a gradual decline in head circumference, prompting the decision to terminate the pregnancy.
