Abstract
To our knowledge this is the first report of Schneckenbecken dysplasia with the development of hydrops early in the second trimester. The radiological findings showed the typical hypoplastic iliac bones with medial extension and very flattened, on lateral view, oval-shaped vertebral bodies and short long bones. The histology showed hypercellular and hypervascular cartilage with chondrocytes with centrally located nucleus. The absence of the lacunar space as described before was also observed in some chondrocytes in our case. This male fetus was the product of consanguineous parents of Mediterranean origin compatible with autosomal recessive inheritance.
