Prenatal echographic diagnosis of laryngeal atresia as part or a multiple c
ongenital anomalies (MCA) syndrome: In this report we present the prenatal
second trimester echographic diagnosis of laryngeal atresia in a male fetus
with multiple associated congenital anomalies: oesophageal atresia, crosse
d fused ectopy of the right kidney, mild cutaneous syndactyly of fingers II
I-V and toes II-III, distinct facial appearance and single umbilical artery
. Bilateral voluminous echogenic lungs were the major echographic diagnosti
c sign. The associated multiple congenital anomalies were not diagnostic fo
r a distinct, recognizable multiple malformation syndrome.
