    Author: Venkatachala S, Sivaraman A.
    Journal: Fetal Pediatr Pathol; 2011; 30(5):350-4. PubMed ID: 21843058.
    Abstract:
    Meckel syndrome is a lethal autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the triad of cystic renal dysplasia, occipital encephalocele, or other anomaly of the central nervous system and post-axial polydactyly. Malformation of the ductal plate is an integral component of Meckel syndrome. Ductal plate malformations include congenital hepatic fibrosis, biliary hamartoma, autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease, Caroli disease, and choledochal cyst. The occurrence of cystic hepatic disease, Caroli disease, and choledochal cyst have not been highlighted. This is a report of a 26-week fetus with features of Meckel syndrome, Caroli disease, and choledochal cyst.
