Antenatal diagnosis of a rare fetal syndrome : is this a new syndrome or a variant of goldston syndrome ?

الملخص EN

Goldston Syndrome is a rare condition characterized by polycystic enlarged kidneys and Dandy-Walker Malformation.

It is a rare variant of Meckel Gruber Syndrome.

A case with a possible diagnosis of Goldston syndrome is presented; the diagnosis was made by fetal ultrasound at 30 weeks of gestation in 25 years old Saudi mother who had previous pregnancies with congenital malformations.

Ultrasound of the fetus showed severe olighydramnios, Dandy-Walker malformation, enlarged echogenic kidneys and fetal ascites.

To my knowledge, this is the fifth case of Goldston syndrome diagnosed during intrauterine life or could be a new entity because of fetal ascites.
