Meckel Gruber Syndrome is a rare syndrome inherited as Mendelian autosomal recessive condition. The affected infant usually has a large occipital encephalocoele associated with renal cysts and sometimes polydactyly. The prognosis is poor. The affected child is still born or dies early in infancy. If diagnosis is done by prenatal ultrasound examination termination of pregnancy can be done.
