Description:
Deletion of the distal segment of the short arm of the 8th chromosome was first reported in 1973. Subsequent to this, 14 additional cases of 8p- syndrome have been described in the literature1-3. The clinical features have been reviewed by Pecile et al. In the postnatal period, the 8p- syndrome is characterized by growth delay, mental retardation, abnormal facies, and congenital heart disease.
The present report describes a fetus in whom the prenatal diagnosis of 8p- syndrome was made.
