Abstract
A 31-year-old Caucasian women was referred to our department after IUGR was suspected by her gynaecologist at 29 weeks' amenorrhea in her second pregn ancy. Multiple anomalies were detected by prenatal ultrasound in the 29th w eek of gestation. Chordocentesis was performed and revealed a Trisomy 22 in all fetal blood cells. The pregnancy was terminated. Post-mortem investiga tions excluded chromosomal mosaicism. Prenatal ultrasound findings and post -mortem features are presented.
