Abstract:
An unexpected case of trisomy 18 was diagnosed after a chorionic villous biopsy at 9 weeks gestation, obtained to exclude a probable case of sickle cell disease. Difficulties in confirming the original diagnosis after fetal tissue culture are examined. The value of pathological examination of the termination specimen is emphasized.
