Evidence for the "midline" hypothesis in associated defects of laterality formation and multiple midline anomalies.

A male infant was liveborn at 38 weeks of gestation to a G4P1AB2, 22-year-old, mother. Polyhydramnios and multiple congenital anomalies were noted by ultrasonography; the infant died 5 min after birth.
