No pathology was found on FISH examination in relation to chromosome 13, 18, 21, X and Y during amniocentesis. At birth baby had weight of 1890 gram (10-50 percentile), the height of 40cm (<10 percentile) and head circumference of 26cm (<10 percentile). Examination of the head revealed microcephaly, micrognathia and a high-bridged nose (Fig. 1). Edema was seen in both lower extremities (Fig. 1). CBC showed thrombocytopenia (86.000/mm3). Liver and kidney function tests, and albumin level were in normal range. Serologic tests for TORCH and Parvovirus were negative. Abdominal ultrasonography (USG) showed bilateral renal hypodysplasia. Ventricular septal defect was found on Echocardiography.
