The second patient opted for termination of pregnancy prior to a possible onset of complications. Existing literature on this topic is also reviewed, in particular on the role of serum hCG levels to predict a favourable fetal prognosis....

Mohamed A Satti, Frederico G Rocha, Erin Beaver and Jeffrey M Dicke

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: May 02, 2016

Anatomy scan of a 22 year old prima gravida at 19w4d showed a viable IUP with unilateral choroid plexus cyst and dextroposition of the heart without any other observed structural malformation. Amniocentesis revealed a normal male pattern for chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). However, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for circulating fetal DNA in maternal blood was consistent with mosaic Trisomy 18. The karyotype of cultured dividing cells confirmed...
