Transvaginal ultrasonography performed at 14 weeks' gestation demonstrated a bilateral cleft lip and lobster‐claw deformities of the hands and feet, in keeping with the diagnosis of EEC syndrome (ectrodactyly or lobster‐claw deformity, ectodermal dysplasia, and cleft lip and palate). The fetus was aborted and the diagnosis of EEC syndrome was confirmed.
