Three Further Cases of Triploidy in Man Surviving to Birth

Medical Disorders with Associated Dermatoglyphic Abnormalities

“…Apart from the references cited in the text, dermatoglyphic data were pooled from the following sources: Bernard et al (1967), Book (1970), Edwards et al (1967), Finley et al (1972, , Lejeune et al (1967), Niebuhr et al (1972), Penrose (1968), Schindler and Mikamo ( 1970), Schmickel et al (1971 ), , Simpson et al (1972), Walker et al (1973), and Zergollern et al (1972).…”

Partial Hydatidiform Mole with Alive Term IUGR Foetus

“…It is even rarer for the resulting child to be born with a normal karyotype.There are few cases reported in the literature, however some study do report on these rare condition. (9,(10)(11)(12)(13) Several studies (12,14) have reported cases of a single normal foetus associated with partial molar placenta and stated that the foetus must have a normal karyotype to survive in utero , although the placenta can show some variation from diplody of the amnion to triploidy of the chorionic villi 14 such an occurrence is presumably follows mitotic abnormalities in the early postfertilization period and represents placental mosaicism. Survival of a foetus to term in the presence of partial mole remains an extremly uncommon occurrence which is similar to this case .…”

Neurological Disorders in Patients With Chromosomal Anomalies

“…Hydrocephaly and meningomyelocele was seen too by Prats et al (1971). Further cerebral malformations are irregular formed brain with one large cavity, neither hemispheres nor lobes, missing tractus opticus and falx cerebri, missing white substance and myelinated parts (Zergollern et al 1972), agenesis of corpus callosum (Niebuhr et al 1972), lumbosacral myelomeningocele (Simpson et al 1972), hydrocephaly (Walker et al 1973, Kunze et al 1976), cebocephaly (Schinzel et al 1975), encephalocele (Kulazenko and Kulazenko 1976), asymmetrie development of hippocampus (del Mazo et al 1977). …”
