Brachmann-de Lange syndrome: pre- and postnatal findings.

ABSTRACT

Brachmann-de Lange syndrome (BDLS) is a well-delineated and relatively common syndrome. However, prenatal diagnosis has never been reported, even if in some cases ultrasonography demonstrated one or more manifestations of the syndrome. We report on 3 cases in the first 2 cases, prenatal ultrasonography demonstrated some signs of the condition. The third represents, to our knowledge, the first prenatal diagnosis of BDLS. We also present a review of the literature concerning pre- and postnatal findings in this syndrome.
