Abstract
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.
