Abstract

A late adolescent primigravida was found to have a fetus with a cystic hygroma and significant shortening of the limbs on first-trimester ultrasound. She underwent chorionic villus sampling with normal microarray result. In the early second trimester, the fetus was found to have the absence of all four limbs and a thorough skeletal dysplasia workup was pursued, identifying a variant in the FLNB gene (c.62C>G). The patient underwent termination of pregnancy. The care of this patient was expedited by first-trimester sonographic evidence of limb abnormalities enabling timely clinical management.
