The low incidence and the overlapping features with other types of lethal skeletal dysplasia represent the main challenges in diagnosis. Early diagnosis is essential and can be achieved by ultrasound examination and genetic analysis. This report describes a case of\n                      <jats:italic>HSPG2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2010related dyssegmental dysplasia, Silverman\u2013Handmaker type (DDSH) diagnosed prenatally through a combination of detailed ultrasound imaging and subsequent genetic analysis.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A 21\u2010year\u2010old pregnant lady (G2P1) was referred to our center at 17\u2010week gestation upon the detection of severe shortening of fetal limbs. Detailed ultrasound examination revealed small for gestational age, and specific craniofacial features such as severe micrognathia, short neck, microcephaly, prominent eyes, and occipital encephalocele. Other abnormalities were detected in extremities in the form of bowing of lower limbs, severe tetramicromelia, and upper limbs in a fixed flexion. Amniocentesis for whole exome sequencing was performed. It showed a homozygous pathogenic variant in the\n                      <jats:italic>HSPG2<\/jats:italic>\n                      gene (c.11565+1G&gt;A), a result consistent with the genetic diagnosis of autosomal recessive\n                      <jats:italic>HSPG2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2010related DDSH.

DDSH can be diagnosed prenatally using fetal ultrasound as early as 13 weeks.
