Case reportThis is a case of a 28-year-old G2 P0 with one spontaneous abortion in the previous pregnancy. Her personal and family history were both non-contributive. The ultrasound examination at 22 weeks of gestation showed large midline and lateral facial cleft. The cleft involved lip, maxilla, nose, forehead and partially orbit as well. There was a cardiac anomaly, suspicious of Tetralogy of Fallot.

Left hand had a preaxial polydactyly.Amniocentesis was performed with a normal karyotype, 46 XY. DNA microarray was done in Canada with normal result.

Facial cleft is an anomaly which can be isolated or present as a part of the syndrome. The prognosis depends on the range of the affected area. We have not found any particular syndrome which would include all our ultrasound findings. Our final diagnosis was a severe frontonasal dysplasia associated with cardiopathy.
