We exprienced a case of Meckel-Gruber syndrome in a newborn male diagnosed clinically and confirmed pathologically. Abnormalities of the fetus were found prenataly by ultrasonogram, and subsequently the baby was terminated by cesarean section delivery at 32 weeks of gestational age. We report this case with brief review of literature.
