Extractions: 1. In 1992 a 27 year old woman was seen in our obstetric ultrasound department, because of routine sonography for her first pregnancy of 16 weeks and 4 days. Her general history were negative, as was her family history. The ultrasound showed dilated ventricles and an occipital encephalocele. Both kidneys showed multiple cysts (picture 1.) Diagnosis: Meckel-Gruber syndrome. A few days later her pregnancy was terminated with a sulproston infusion. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis. Next to the already described malformations the right foot counted 6 toes, while the left hand showed an extra finger. Because the Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a recessive disease, she was told that she had a 25% chance of having an affected fetus in her next pregnancy. 2. Five months later she reported a new pregnancy. At 9 weeks she seemed to have a normal ultrasound, but at 12 weeks a cranial cyst was seen (picture 2.). Pathology: because of the curettage it was difficult to recognize fetal parts. However two hands with 6 fingers each were found. This seems a confirmation of the diagnosis M-G syndrome.
Extractions: A lethal malformation complex characterised by occipital encephalocele, polycystic kidneys, polydactyly, microcephaly, microphthalmia, clefted palate, cataracts, congenital heart defect, genital anomalies, abnormal facies, and polycystic degeneration of the kidneys, liver, and pancreas. Polydactyly, the most common skeletal feature, involves all four limbs and presents hexadactyly, heptodactyly, or even a greater number of digits. Anencephaly and/or agenesis or hypoplasia of the cerebellum may occur. Death occurs within days or weeks. Aetiology unknown. Prevalent in females; present from birth. Inheritance is autosomal recessive, parental consanguinity occurring in some cases. After Meckel, the syndrome was described by Willem Vrolik (1801-1863) in 1854, by August Förster (1822-1865) in 1862, and by Johann Ludwig Casper in 1864. However, the identity of this syndrome was not established until 1969, when John Marius Opitz (1935) and J. J. Howe proposed the name Meckel syndrome. They delineated its clinical and pathological features. S. Mecke and E. Passarge confirmed the autosomal recessive hypothesis by a a priori method. Nowadays it is clearly an autosomal recessive disorder.
Pathology Cases For Diagnosis is also known as MeckelGruber Syndrome (dysencephalia splanchnocystica). It is transmitted through autosomal recessive http://wwwpath.usuf2.usuhs.mil/Surg_Path/s98-01/98-01.html
Extractions: A 20-year-old gravida one para female at 39 weeks estimated gestational age presented to Labor and Delivery with spontaneous rupture of membranes with baby in breech position. A primary, low transverse C-section was performed with birth of a liveborn infant female. Apgar scores at one minute were one, five minutes one, and ten minutes four, with difficult ventilation (inadequate oxygenation despite maximal ventilatory settings). Multiple congenital anomalies were noted at birth. Ventilatory support was discontinued and the infant expired at approximately five hours of life. Permission for a full autopsy was granted by the infant's parents.

Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: MKS, dysencephalia splanchnocystica, Gruber syndrome, Meckel syndrome type 1, MKS1, MES Background: Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) (OMIM 24900) is a lethal, rare autosomal recessive condition mapped to chromosome 17. The triad of occipital encephalocele, large polycystic kidneys, and postaxial polydactyly characterizes MKS. Associated abnormalities include oral clefting, genital anomalies, CNS malformations, and fibrosis of the liver. Pulmonary hypoplasia is the leading cause of death. With the advent of ultrasound, prenatal diagnosis is possible during the second trimester or late first trimester. Pathophysiology: It has been suggested that a failure of mesodermal induction causes MKS. The induction cascades of early morphogenesis involve numerous growth factors, homeo box genes, and paired domain genes. Frequency:
