Prenatal diagnosis of this entity is possible by ultrasonographic studies on the basis of nonimmune fetal hydrops, a cystic hygroma at the back of the head and neck, diminished fetal activity, short and fixed limbs, and\/or maternal hydramnios. Three additional cases (cases 4\u20136) are also presented to show a possible heterogeneity of this syndrome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.1320170411","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,11]],"date-time":"2005-06-11T19:39:21Z","timestamp":1118518761000},"page":"809-826","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":77,"title":["Syndrome of multiple pterygia, camptodactyly, facial anomalies, hypoplastic lungs and heart, cystic hygroma, and skeletal anomalies: Delineation of a new entity and review of lethal forms of multiple pterygium syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"H.","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Immken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Lachman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.
