A 32-year-old G{sub 3}P{sub 2002} Hispanic female presented at 14 weeks gestation for routine dating ultrasound. At that time ultrasonography revealed a septated cystic hygroma, omphalocele, bilateral talipes equinovarus, and hydrops. Amniocentesis was performed at 15 weeks and revealed a 46,XX,9p+ chromosome complement. The origin of the extra material on the terminal short arm of chromosome 9 could not be identified. Chromosome analysis was performed on the parents and the mother was found to carry the balanced translocation 46,XX,p(3;9)(q23;p13). Further analysis revealed that the fetus had inherited the derivative 9 chromosome. The fetus was therefore monosomic for 9p13-9pter and trisomic for 3q23-3pter. The patient chose to continue the pregnancy. Serial ultrasonography later demonstrated a sloping forehead, small nose, micrognathia, ventriculomegaly, possible VSD, micropenis, hypospadias, cryptorchidism and post-axial polydactyly of the hands. The fetus was delivered prematurely at 31 weeks and survived one hour. Post-mortem examination confirmed the ultrasound findings and revealed additional stigmata consistent with both 9p monosomy and 3q trisomy. A review of the literature indicates no previous report of both syndromes concurrently.
