Meckel Gruber Syndrome: A Rare Entity
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Meckel-Gruber Syndrome (MKS) was first described by J R Meckel in 1822. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, and is caused by the failure of mesodermal induction. The typical triad of Meckel-Gruber Syndrome (MKS) involves meningo-encephalocele, polycystic kidneys and postaxial polydactyl. The diagnosis was confirmed at 20 weeks of gestation based on ultrasonographic findings of the typical triad of the disease (encephalocele, polycystic kidneys, and polydactyly) followed by autopsy and is reported here due to its rarity.
