The X‐linked Hunter syndrome or mucopolysaccharidosis II was diagnosed in a male fetus by demonstrating a severe deficiency of iduronate 2‐sulphate sulphatase activity in fetal plasma obtained by umbilical fetal blood sampling at 23 weeks of pregnancy. The diagnosis was confirmed after termination of pregnancy.
