We report on a 32-year-old woman who presented at gestational age of 14 weeks. During ultrasonographic examination, we discovered that her fetus had several important abnormalities, including a cystic hygroma, craniofacial defects (low-set ears, broad nose), heart defects (single atrium, single ventricle), agenesis of corpus callosum, limb defects (clenched hands, pes equinovarus). Chorionic villus sampling and karyotyping revealed diploid/tetraploid mosaicism with trisomy 18 (mixoploidy; 4n+18/2n+18). Her second pregnancy was terminated because of the same clinical manifestations 1 year prior. Her first pregnancy resulted in the birth of an entirely healthy boy. As far as know, no other similar case has been presented in the literature.

The Trail Making Test (TMl) is widely used in neuropsychological practice as part of a battery for detecting neuropsychological dysfunction. A comprehensive review published by Horton in 1979, focused on adult performance. A critical evaluation of research investigating the use of this test in children is presented here. No clear set of instructions for test use is available for children and, while some aspects of neuropsychological function are similar for adults and children, other factors set these groups apart. Norms are not readily available for children and the relationship of test performance to age, education level and IQ in adults suggests that these are critical variables, particularly in South Africa.Die 'Trail Making Test' (TMl) word algemeen gebruik in neuropsigologiese praktyk om neuropsigologiese disfunksie vas te stel. In 1979 het Horton 'n grondige oorsig gepubliseer, gebaseer op die prestasie van volwassenes. In hierdie artikel word 'n kritiese evaluering gegee van navorsing op kinders met hierdie toets. 'n Duidelike stel instruksies is nie beskikbaar vir gebruik met kinders nie. Alhoewel sekere aspekte van neuropsigologiese funksionering van volwassenes en kinders ooreenstem, is daar tog ander faktore waarop hul/e verskil. Norms vir kinders is nie geredelik beskikbaar nie, en die verhouding van toetsprestasie met ouderdom, opvoedkundige peil en IK in volwassenes suggereer dat hierdie, veral in Suid-Afrika, kritiese veranderlikes is.

In the course of interviewing a patient, several aspects of everyday functioning must be covered to provide a range of observations necessary to suggest a provisional diagnosis. First organized by Adolf Meyer, the mental status examination consists of several techniques which, in recent times, have been shortened, structured and standardized to cover maximal ground in minimal time. In this article, the most popular scales are reviewed psychometrically for their capacity to detect, as first-stage instruments, cognitive impairment suggestive of primary dementia in the context of varying prevalence rates and confounding factors like sensory impairments, sociodemographics and depressive states. Several of the measures are found adequate in some respects though not in others, but all of the better ones, when used as front line implements during clinical intake, regularly improve detection over base rates. An analytical method modelled on ROC procedures is then described contrasting two of them before newer instruments are considered which aim to improve sensitivity at relatively little cost to specificity.
