Abstract
The authors present a case of prenatal diagnosis of cloacal anomaly, c haracterized by the presence of oligohydramnios and cystic pelvic mass with changing features during observation. Postnatal study confirmed the presence of a recto-cloacal fistula, with a high confluence of the urinary, genital and intestinal systems. Both parents had a chromosom e 9 inversion (p11q13): but the child was chromosomally normal.
