Abstract
Hypospadias is one of the most prominent and characteristic midline defects in male infants with the Wolf‐Hirschhorn (4p —) syndrome. In this report we present a case in which hypospadias was identified prenatally at 29 weeks' gestation in association with intrauterine growth retardation. Cytogenetic evaluation after birth confirmed a 46, XY, del(4)(p14) karyotype. The prenatal identification of hypospadias in fetuses with intrauterine growth retardation and normal amniotic fluid should suggest a diagnosis of Wolf‐Hirschhorn syndrome.Keywords
