Abstract

Introduction

Pena–Shokeir syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by arthrogryposis, facial anomalies (micrognathia), camptodactyly, polyhydramnios and lung hypoplasia.

Case report

We report prenatal ultrasonographic, antenatal MR and postnatal examination findings of a fetus with Pena–Shokeir syndrome.

Conclusion

Pena–Shokeir syndrome is a potentially lethal condition and most cases are diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound. Fetal MR can be performed to look associated neurological malformation.
