The case of a patient presenting with Crisponi syndrome recently hospitalized at our institution is described. During pregnancy a diagnosis of this syndrome was hypothesized following sonographic observation of the fetus with the hands showing ‘the sign of the horns’. Such a finding, if isolated, as in our case, may represent a simple, pathognomonic sonographic marker of Crisponi syndrome.
