Abstract

Pfeiffer syndrome is an autosomic dominant disorder characterized by craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia and syndactyly of the hands and feet. Three different phenotypes have been described, where type 2 is the most severe and the one amenable of prenatal diagnosis. We present the first clinical case reported at Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal, Lima, Peru, of a fetus with suspicious ultrasound prenatal findings of this syndrome including cloverleaf-shaped skull, severe ventriculomegaly, frontal bossing, ocular proptosis and overlapped fingers, who was born by cesarean section and died at day eight due to progressive respiratory distress.
