decided to follow up the pregnancy during two weeks and perform the cordocentesis in this time, karyotope was normal. At 26 weeks we found progressive changes in fetal anatomy: heart herniation became larger, left lobe of liver began to protruse, the absence of the sternum and cartilaginous parts of the ribs was confirmed. Patient was offered pregnancy termination because of the impossibility of surgical correction. Radiography, CT and morphology of abortus confirmed ultrasound diagnosis of isolated absence of the sternum and cartilaginous parts of the ribs.
