We report on a case of Fryns' syndrome diagnosed prenatally in a woman with no family history of this disorder. A computerized database was used for the differential diagnosis. Intensive perinatal care resulted in prolonged survival, which is unusual in individuals with Fryns' syndrome. This case provides further delineation of the developmental course in patients with this condition.
