Abstract We report a case of prenatally diagnosed schizencephaly in association with cardiac and limb defects. The diagnosis was made by antenatal ultrasound and fetal echocardiography at 28 weeks of gestation and corroborated by fetal MRI. There was unilateral open lip schizencephaly along with limb defects and cardiac anomalies such as common arterial trunk and large ventricular septal defect. The newborn delivered at term expired immediately after birth. Schizencephaly is rarely diagnosed in prenatal life with most cases recognized after birth. As prognosis is related to the extent of the lesion and associated malformations, prenatal diagnosis of schizencephaly should prompt a thorough evaluation for the same. | |||
