Abstract
The Gorlin (naevoid basal cell carcinoma) syndrome is an autosomal dom inant disorder consisting principally of naevoid basal cell carcinomas , odontogenic keratocysts, skeletal abnormalities, and intracranial ca lcification. We report the prenatal detection of the Gorlin syndrome b y ultrasonography in a fetus with macrocephaly and mild ventriculomega ly.
