Lethal multiple pterygium syndrome.

We report on two fetuses with a lethal form of multiple-pterygium syndrome born to first cousins. The two pregnancies aborted spontaneously in the 2nd trimester, the fetuses, 10-11 weeks of embryonic age, showing multiple pterygia and multiple cartilaginous fusions. One had cleft lip and palate. In both cases the microscopic anatomy of the placenta showed villi with scalloped border and intravillous trophoblastic invaginations.

A case of partial sirenomelia and possible vitamin A teratogenesis.

Prenatal echographical findings of a partial sirenomelic fetus are described. An attempt was made to terminate pregnancy by administration of prostaglandin F2 alpha, but uterine rupture occurred. The teratogenic role of vitamin A ingested by the mother in the periconceptional period is discussed.
