RESUMO
Prenatal identification by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of callosal anomalies, particularly with accompanying intracranial abnormalities, poses a challenge for accurate prognostication and fetal counseling as outcome can vary widely depending on underlying etiology. In female patients, Aicardi syndrome is an important consideration, and prompt postnatal ophthalmologic assessment to identify ocular stigmata of Aicardi syndrome can aid with anticipatory guidance and greater vigilance for seizures. We present a case of a female with fetal and postnatal MRI findings of agenesis of corpus callosum and type 2b interhemispheric cysts, characteristically found in Aicardi syndrome, but was found to have oral-facial-digital syndrome type 1 (OFD1). We also present 3 other companion cases with pre- and postnatal imaging of patients with Aicardi syndrome. These cases highlight the importance of widening the differential diagnosis to also include OFD1 for female patients with callosal anomalies.

BACKGROUND: Orofacial digital syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with oral cavity, facial and digits anomalies. Orofacial digital syndrome type II, also called the "Mohr syndrome" is a very rare subtype that has been reported scarcely in Asia especially in Japanese patients. CASE PRESENTATION: The case is an Iranian 5-year old girl who had been admitted for orthopedic surgery. She surprisingly had pre and postaxial polydactyly of all the four limbs concurrent with syndromic face and most of the features of Orofaciodigital syndrome type II. CONCLUSION: Mohr syndrome, anesthesia and surgical considerations are discussed in this case report. It is recommended to consider these considerations and the possibility of OFDS in every child with pre and postaxial polydactyly of the four limbs and to try to distinguish type II from other types of ODFS.

Oral-facial-digital (OFD) syndromes are a subgroup of ciliopathies distinguished by the co-occurrence of hamartomas and/or multiple frenula of the oral region and digital anomalies. Several clinical forms of OFD syndromes are distinguished by their associated anomalies and/or inheritance patterns, and at least 20 genetic types of OFD syndromes have been delineated. We describe here a child with preaxial and postaxial polydactyly, lingual hamartoma, a congenital heart defect, delayed development and cerebellar peduncles displaying the molar tooth sign. Whole-exome sequencing and SNP array identified compound heterozygous variants in the INTU gene, which encodes a protein involved in the positioning of the ciliary basal body. INTU is a subunit of the CPLANE multiprotein complex essential for the assembly of IFT-A particles and intraflagellar transport. This report of a second patient with INTU-related OFD syndrome and the further delineation of its neuroimaging and skeletal phenotype now allow INTU-related OFD syndromes to be classified within the OFD syndrome type VI group. Patients display a phenotype similar to that of mice with a hypomorphic mutation of Intu, but with the addition of a heart defect.

BACKGROUND: OFD1 syndrome is a rare ciliopathy inherited on a dominant X-linked mode, typically lethal in males in the first or second trimester of pregnancy. It is characterized by oral cavity and digital anomalies possibly associated with cerebral and renal signs. Its prevalence is between 1/250,000 and 1/50,000 births. It is due to heterozygous mutations of OFD1 and mutations are often de novo (75%). Familial forms show highly variable phenotypic expression. OFD1 encodes a protein involved in centriole growth, distal appendix formation, and ciliogenesis. CASES: We report the investigation of three female fetuses in which corpus callosum agenesis was detected by ultrasound during the second trimester of pregnancy. In all three fetuses, fetopathological examination allowed the diagnosis of OFD1 syndrome, which was confirmed by molecular analysis. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, these are the first case reports of antenatal diagnosis of OFD1 syndrome in the absence of familial history, revealed following detection of agenesis of the corpus callosum. They highlight the impact of fetal examination following termination of pregnancy for brain malformations. They also highlight the contribution of ciliary genes to corpus callosum development.

Numerical anomalies, either addition or deletion, are quite a common findings in human dentition. However, it is extremely rare to find both hypodontia and hyperdontia simultaneously in the same individual. This condition is referred as concomitant hypohyperdontia (CHH). Aetiology of this condition is still obscure. The prevalence of CHH has been reported to be between 0.002% and 3.1%. This case report highlights a rare occurrence of bimaxillary CHH represented by the absence of both mandibular central incisors and presence of two supernumerary teeth in the maxillary anterior segment. The rarity of such condition of mixed hypodontia as well as hyperdontia in single human dentition prompted the author to report the case.

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, causes and clinical management of intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) diagnosed during foetal life or in the first month of life in term neonates with a discussion of the role of haematological risk factors. This study included term neonates (gestational age 37-42 weeks) with ICH diagnosed, treated and followed up in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey, between January 1994 and January 2014. Medical follow-up was obtained retrospectively from hospital files and prospectively from telephonic interviews and/or clinical visits. During the study period, 16 term neonates were identified as having ICH in our hospital. In six (37.5%) neonates, ICH was diagnosed during foetal life by obstetric ultrasonography, and in 10 (62.5%) neonates, it has been diagnosed after birth. Haemorrhage types included intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) in eight (50.0%), intraparenchymal haemorrhage in six (37.5%), subarachnoid haemorrhage in one (6.2%) and subdural haemorrhage in one (6.2%) neonate. IVH was the most common (nâ=â5/6, 83.3%) haemorrhage type among neonates diagnosed during foetal life. Overall, haemorrhage severity was determined as mild in three (18.7%) neonates, moderate in three (18.75%) neonates and severe in 10 (62.5%) neonates. During follow-up, one infant was diagnosed as afibrinogenemia, one diagnosed as infantile spasm, one cystic fibrosis, one orofaciodigital syndrome and the other diagnosed as Friedrich ataxia. Detailed haematological investigation and search for other underlying diseases are very important to identify the reason of ICH in term neonates. Furthermore, early diagnosis, close monitoring and prompt surgical interventions are significant factors to reduce disabilities.

OBJECTIVE: Exome sequencing is a successful option for diagnosing individuals with previously uncharacterized genetic conditions, however little has been reported regarding its utility in a prenatal setting. The goal of this study is to describe the results from a cohort of fetuses for which exome sequencing was performed. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of the first seven cases referred to our laboratory for exome sequencing following fetal demise or termination of pregnancy. All seven pregnancies had multiple congenital anomalies identified by level II ultrasound. Exome sequencing was performed on trios using cultured amniocytes or products of conception from the affected fetuses. RESULTS: Relevant alterations were identified in more than half of the cases (4/7). Three of the four were categorized as 'positive' results, and one of the four was categorized as a 'likely positive' result. The provided diagnoses included osteogenesis imperfecta II (COL1A2), glycogen storage disease IV (GBE1), oral-facial-digital syndrome 1 (OFD1), and RAPSN-associated fetal akinesia deformation sequence. CONCLUSION: This data suggests that exome sequencing is likely to be a valuable diagnostic testing option for pregnancies with multiple congenital anomalies detected by prenatal ultrasound; however, additional studies with larger cohorts of affected pregnancies are necessary to confirm these findings.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the oral features in individuals with oral-facial-digital syndrome type 1 (OFD 1), previously diagnosed by the Genetic Sector of the Hospital of Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies of the University of São Paulo (HRAC-USP). DESIGN: Twelve patients with OFD 1 were examined clinically and radiographically; their medical files were also evaluated. RESULTS: Associated oral malformations were observed in all patients (100%). The most frequent findings were tongue hamartomas, multiple buccal frena, asymmetric lips, asymmetric tongue, and bilateral maxillary gingival swelling. Interestingly, atrophy of the maxillary midline frenum was also observed in all the individuals examined. CONCLUSIONS: Several extra and intraoral alterations were observed in patients with OFD 1. The authors suggest the inclusion of atrophy of the maxillary midline frenum as a commonly found characteristic of OFD 1.

We report the sonographic and autopsy findings in two sibling fetuses with autosomal recessive orofaciodigital syndrome (OFDS) Type IV (Mohr-Majewski) diagnosed at 11-13 weeks' gestation. The first-trimester anomaly scan showed a markedly increased nuchal translucency (NT) thickness in both fetuses (4.7 mm and 5.1 mm). Both fetuses had multiple anomalies involving the brain, cranium, heart and skeletal system and their karyotypes were normal. The pregnancies were terminated and the autopsies showed findings consistent with Mohr-Majewski syndrome. These cases show the overlap between OFDS Type II (Mohr) and lethal short-rib-polydactyly syndrome Type II (Majewski) and confirm both the autosomal recessive inheritance of the condition and our ability to diagnose it early in pregnancy using detailed fetal ultrasonography.

We report on sibling fetuses with orofaciodigital syndrome (OFDS) type IV (Mohr-Majewski syndrome). The 1st was a 13-week-old fetus with hypertelorism; a median cleft defect of the upper lip, soft palate, and uvula; a polypoid lower lip and multiple frenula of the tongue adherent to the mandible; a congenital heart defect; pre- and postaxial polydactyly of the upper and preaxial polydactyly of the lower limbs; and an intersex genitalia. However, the shortening of both arms and forearms was particularly striking, with shortening of the ulna and ulnar deviation of both hands. The 2nd fetus was of the same parents, was 11 weeks old, and presented with a similar spectrum of malformations. The features of both fetuses showed a transitional phenotype between the OFDS type II (Mohr syndrome) and the short rib-polydactyly syndrome type II (Majewski syndrome), thus extending the known spectrum of the OFDS type IV.

INTRODUCTION: In 1978 the authors studied a male gypsy child with a multiple malformation syndrome. In this gypsy colony further five cases were found with similar features. The characteristic syndrome was published in 1980. Subsequently, the syndrome has been quoted as Váradi-Papp syndrome. AIM: To present the 25-year follow-up of this multiple malformation syndrome. RESULTS: The most common features of 29 affected children with this syndrome consists of orofacial (facial dysmorphism, cleft lip and/or palate abnormality, lingual nodule or tumor of the tongue, buccoalveolar frenula, alveolar and dental abnormalities, strabismus), cerebral/cerebellar (deformation of the skull, semilobar holoprosencephaly and/or absence or dysgenesis of cerebellar vermis or corpus callosum or hypothalamus or pituitary gland), digital (metacarpal abnormalities with central polydactyly, reduplication of the big toes) and genital (cryptorchidism, micropenis) anomalies. The patients are growth-retarded and when survival occurs psychomotor retardation is present. Accumulation of consanguinity and because of the involvement of multiple siblings in these families supports the autosomal recessive inheritance. CONCLUSION: Fetal Váradi-Papp syndrome using ultrasonography in the mid-trimester both in routine screening and detailed scanning can be detected, and termination of pregnancy can be offered to the parents.

Juberg-Hayward syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome characterised by the association of growth retardation, microcephaly, cleft lip and palate, and thumb and radial ray abnormalities. To date, no prenatal cases have been reported. Here, we report on the first prenatal case of Juberg-Hayward syndrome. The diagnosis was established following fetopathological study. Besides the cardinal features of the syndrome, this prenatal case was remarkable for the severity of the short arm malformation and by the finding of big toe agenesis and cerebral abnormalities including hydrocephalus, agenesis of corpus callosum, and cerebellar hypoplasia. We conclude that the diagnosis of Juberg-Hayward syndrome can be discussed prenatally following ultrasound diagnosis of the association of intrauterine growth restriction, microcephaly, thumb/radial anomalies, and cleft lip/palate.

OBJECTIVES: We aim to describe a case with oral-facial-digital syndrome type VI (OFDS VI) or Varadi-Papp syndrome where the only prenatal findings were cleft lip and palate and a primum type atrial septal defect (ASD). METHODS: A 24-year-old pregnant woman, gravida 1 para 0, attended the prenatal clinic for a routine visit at 16 weeks of gestation. Her medical and family history was unremarkable. There was no history of consanguinity, drug or teratogen exposure. Her triple screening test and other routine biochemical and haematological blood tests did not reveal any abnormal results. During routine prenatal sonographic examination at the 16th gestational week, cleft lip and palate including secondary palate on the right side of the face was detected and ASD was suspected. RESULTS: After delivery, prenatally diagnosed cleft lip and palate and primum ASD were confirmed. Postnatally, minimal micrognathia, posteriorly rotated low-set ears, minimal hypertelorism, epicanthal folds, nystagmus, esotropia, broad nasal tip, intraoral frenula and lobed tongue, shawl scrotum and duplicated nail of the index fingers of both hands were also observed. Radiological examination showed partial agenesis of the corpus callosum and partially duplicated terminal phalanx of the index fingers. A diagnosis of Varadi-Papp syndrome was formulated. At one year of age, there was short stature and delayed mental and motor development. CONCLUSION: Understanding the limitations of prenatal ultrasound is very important for the genetic counselling of prospective parents, since major ultrasound findings can be associated with other minor or undetectable features.

We describe a second sporadic case, a girl, with the features of Oral-Facial-Digital, type Gabrielli. We comment on several aspects of this condition and confirm this entity as a unique syndrome, different from the other OFDS. To date, the diagnosis is based only on clinical and radiographic findings.

Porencephaly is a rare central nervous system (CNS) abnormality that can be caused by an intraparenchymal destructive process or a developmental defect. Here we report on a prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of complex CNS abnormalities including agenesis of the corpus callosum, agenesis of the cerebellar vermis, bilateral hydrocephaly, and bilateral porencephaly in fetus at 33 weeks' gestation. The diagnosis of familial orofaciodigital syndrome type I (OFD I) was raised after fetal autopsy, clinical examination of the family, and the X-linked dominant inheritance pattern. This is the fourth report of porencephaly in association with OFD I. We discuss the difficulties in genetic counselling since OFD I shows variable expressivity of the phenotypic features. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of a detailed ultrasound examination after a prenatal diagnosis of porencephaly.

Three cases of hypoglossia-hypodactyly syndrome without limb deformities are reported. All exhibited different degrees of tongue hypoplasia, micrognathia, retrognathia with a very narrow space between the left and right halves of the mandible, constricted isthmus, and only one lower incisor. Bone lengthening for the midline mandibular hypoplasia and orthodontic treatment were performed in the three cases with satisfactory results.
