Amniocentesis was performed. The karyotype was 46XX, but with 22q11 deletion.

The couple decided to continue the pregnancy.

The child was born at 37 weeks and operated a few days later.

Unfortunately, the baby died at the end of the surgery.  Final diagnosis was the interruption of the aortic arch type B, between common carotid and left subclavian artery.
