ABSTRACT

Background: Karsch-Neugebauer syndrome, or ectrodactyly of the foot or cleft foot, is an extremely rare congenital disorder characterized by aplasia-hypoplasia of the phalanges and metatarsals of the foot. When it occurs in isolation, it is due to an autosomal dominant form of variable expression, although it can also be autosomal recessive.
Clinical case: 31-year-old female patient with no significant hereditary family history, BMI of 25.95 kg/m2, vital signs within normal parameters. With two pregnancies, previous caesarean section without complications. Structural ultrasound (20 to 23.6 weeks) of the current pregnancy showed a live fetus, female sex and 22.2 weeks gestation, with multiple anatomical anomalies: single umbilical artery, hypoplastic nasal bone, micrognathia in the facial angle and lower limbs with bilateral ectrodactyly.
Conclusions: Ultrasound examinations, especially at 20 to 23.6 weeks of gestation, are crucial for the detection of congenital malformations. However, from 11 to 13.6 weeks it is possible to make early structural diagnoses. Many disorders and syndromes, such as Karsch-Neugebauer syndrome, are often disabling and, in combination with other anomalies, can become incompatible with life. Early diagnosis is necessary to make informed decisions with the family and the multidisciplinary team.
