Sumario:Pena-Shokeir syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease, characterized by facial anomalies, arthrogryposis, polyhydramnios, fetal growth restriction, and pulmonary hypoplasia. This report describes the findings of this anomaly with two and three-dimensional ultrasound in a female in her 28(th) week of pregnancy, who was referred to us because the fetus presented arthrogryposis of unknown cause. These imaging methods allowed adequate evaluation of the fetal malformations and also enabled appropriate counseling of the couple.
