Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a dramatic human brain malformation sequence with an extreme variable phenotypic spectrum and genetic heterogeneity, variable degree of severity and unknown etiology, in many cases. HPE is classified into syndromic, chromosomal, and non-syndromic, non-chromosomal. The most cases of HPE are syndromic. We present an atypical case of syndromic alobar HPE associated with digynic triploidy fetus, prenatally diagnosed, early at 18 weeks of gestation, by ultrasound (US) and complex genetic investigations. The US examination was performed with a specialized US machine, General Electric Voluson E10 OLED BT18, using two-dimensional (2D) scanning, three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction, four-dimensional (4D) spatiotemporal image methodology and the highest power Doppler US technology. A detailed US examination of the fetus revealed several major abnormalities of the fetal head and severe facial malformations. Based on the antenatal US findings, the fetus was diagnosed with alobar HPE. After a careful examination and genetic counseling, additional cytogenetic investigations and molecular genetic analyses were performed, which revealed an abnormal number of 69 chromosomes, digynic triploidy (69,XXY). Two days later, the parents choose to interrupt the current gestation because of major fetal malformations. The pathological examination of the embryo reaffirmed the antenatal diagnostics.
无脑回畸形(HPE)是一种严重的人类脑畸形序列,具有极其多样的表型谱和遗传异质性,在许多情况下,其严重程度和病因不明。HPE 分为综合征型、染色体型和非综合征型、非染色体型。大多数 HPE 是综合征型的。我们报告了一例产前超声(US)和复杂遗传学检查诊断的、与二倍体三体型胎儿相关的非典型综合征性全前脑畸形病例。US 检查使用专用的超声机器,即通用电气 Voluson E10 OLED BT18,采用二维(2D)扫描、三维(3D)图像重建、四维(4D)时空图像方法和最高功率多普勒超声技术。对胎儿的详细 US 检查显示胎儿头部有几个主要异常和严重的面部畸形。根据产前 US 结果,胎儿被诊断为全前脑畸形。在仔细检查和遗传咨询后,进行了额外的细胞遗传学检查和分子遗传学分析,结果显示异常的 69 条染色体,二倍体三体型(69,XXY)。两天后,由于胎儿严重畸形,父母选择终止妊娠。胚胎的病理检查再次证实了产前诊断。
