Home Past Issue About IP About IAP ... Subscription Letters to the Editor Indian Pediatrics 2001; 38: 1325-1326 Fibrosis of the Liver in Meckel Gruber Syndrome Kumar and co-workers in their article titled "autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease with congenital fibrosis and encephalocele" state that congenital hepatic fibrosis has not been reported with Meckel Gruber syndrome(1). However we wish to emphasize that fibrosis of the liver has been reported in this syndrome, although the association is not a constant feature(2-4). The liver will be abnormally firm in consistency. Microscopy shows portal tracts expanded by fibrosis. Sometimes the portal tracts link up to form more extensive fibrous tracts(2). This appearance is similar to that seen in congenital hepatic fibrosis associated with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease(2). The macroscopic appearance of the kidneys in infantile polycystic kidney disease and Meckel Gruber syndrome are also similar. In both conditions there is reniform enlargement of the kidneys with small cysts being visible through the renal capsule(5). Thus the discriminating feature between the two conditions will be the presence of posterior encephalocele and polydactyly which have not been described in autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. There-fore we feel that the case described by Kumar and coworders(1) is more likely to be an example of Meckel Gruber syndrome, as the infant had an encephalocele. Distinguishing between these two lethal conditions however is somewhat academic as both conditions are inherited as autosomal recessive and therefore have a similar recurrence risk.

Correspondence To the Editors: Prenatal diagnosis of lethal congenital malformations in Sri Lanka De Silva and others (1) in their article titled "Meckel Gruber syndrome-a single gene defect causing recurrent neural tube defects" in a previous issue of the Journal highlight a problem often faced by Sri Lankan obstetri­cians. With obstetric ultrasound becoming freely available in this country, lethal malformations are being diagnosed with increasing frequency. Although the parents may pre­fer termination of pregnancy, the present abortion law in Sri Lanka compels its continuation, unless there is a threat to the mother's life. Meckel Gruber syndrome is a good example of the value of prenatal screening in high risk cases. Sepulveda et at. detected the anomaly in 4 out of 9 pregnancies with a past history of this syndrome (2). Further, they made the diagnosis in early pregnancy between 1] and 14 weeks. Indeed, early screening is recommended in Meckel Gruber syndrome, since development of anhydramnios in the second trimester makes it difficult to see the abnormal features (3). In case such an early diagnosis is made in Sri Lanka, legally we have no choice but to ask the woman and her family to give seven months of their lives to a fruitless pregnancy. There are no data at present regarding the emotional responses of women who are compelled to carry

Case reports Meckel Gruber syndrome - a single gene cause of recurrent neural tube defects Deepthi de Silva , Devika Suriyawansa , Manel Mangalika and Dushyanthi Samarasinghe (Index words: Genetic counselling, neural tube defects, multicystic kidneys) Summary Meckel Gruber syndrome (MGS), an autosomal recessive disorder characterised by posterior encephalocoele, multicystic kidneys and post-axial polydactyly should be recognised by obstetricians and paediatricians to counsel parents regarding the 25% recurrence risk. We report a consanguineous family with Mgs affecting three infants. Case report The proband was seen during the 28th week of pregnancy when an ultrasound scan confirmed intrauterine growth retardation, oligohydramnios, an encephalocoele and cystic kidneys. A stillborn female infant weighing 1.2 kg was delivered at term. Post-mortem revealed an infant with a flattened nose, micrognathia, bilateral talipes equinovarus, limb contractures and bilateral post-axial polydactyly of hands. A skin covered posterior encephalocoele, enlarged multicystic kidneys and hypoplastic lungs were also found. This was the fourth child of first cousin Tamil parents, who have one surviving daughter. Two previous pregnancies resulted in infants who died soon after birth and had encephalocoeles.

The 11-14-week scan KH Nicolaides, NJ Sebire, RJM Snijders CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEFECTS Acrania/exencephaly/anencephaly Prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of anencephaly during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy is based on the demonstration of an absent cranial vault and cerebral hemispheres . Animal studies have shown that, in the absence of the cranial vault, there is progressive degeneration of the exposed cerebral tissue to anencephaly In normal human fetuses, there is histological evidence that the onset of ossification of the cranial vault is at 10 weeks of gestation and that, ultrasonographically by 11 weeks, there is hyperechogenicity of the skull in comparison to the underlying tissues . Ultrasound reports have demonstrated that in the human, as in animal studies, there is progression from acrania to exencephaly and finally anencephaly ( Table 1 . In the first trimester, the pathognomonic feature is acrania, the brain being either entirely normal or at varying degrees of distortion and disruption. Goldstein et al . reported the difficulties with early diagnosis of anencephaly; the 12-week scan showed no defects but repeat examination at 26 weeks demonstrated anencephaly
