Popis: The early second-trimester sonographic diagnosis of two infants with short rib (polydactyly) dysplasia type IV (Beemer-Langer dysplasia) is presented. In addition to short ribs, this syndrome is characterized by short limbs with or without polydactyly. There are often associated defects, particularly neural tube anomalies. The occurrence of consanguinity and of four affected siblings in this family support autosomal recessive inheritance. Copyright © 1998 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology
