Nadir görülmekle birlikte tekrarlama riski yüksektir. Burada polidaktili olmayan bilateral polikistik böbrek ve ensefalosel ile tanı koyduğumuz Meckel-Gruber sendromlu bir yenidoğan olgusunu; sonraki gebelikler için genetik danışmanlığın önemine ve erken prenatal tanısına vurgu yapmak üzere sunmaktayız. Anahtar kelimeler: Meckel-Gruber Sendromu; Polidaktili; Ensefalosel; Polikistik Böbrek.
