Introduction Case report We present the case of a 24 year old, second gravida. At special ultrasound scan in 21/4 w.o.g. we found multiple abnormalities of the head (fig. 1). Via amniocentesis we identified a normal caryotype, 46 XY. Through next generation sequencing the genetic diagnosis of a MPPH-1-syndrome could be confirmed as a pathogenic change in the PIK3R2-gen. After a difficult counseling of the parents they continued pregnancy until an unexpected intrauterine fetal death at 34+4 w.o.g.
