Abstract

Trisomy 5p syndrome is a rare chromosomal abnormality with about 40 documented cases. This abnormality is a result of a duplication of the short arm of chromosome 5. Most Trisomy 5p cases are the result of an unbalanced translocation between the duplicated material of chromosome 5 and another chromosome. This case study demonstrates the sonographic features found on a fetus affected with trisomy 5p. It also discusses how genetics play a role in fetuses affected by chromosome abnormalities and why it is important for sonographers to be aware of the contributing factors that can lead to anomalies.
