Abstract :The Meckel syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive disease. Although the diagnostic criteria are still unclear, it has been suggested that at least 2 of the 3 abnormalities (i.e.central nervous system anomaly, polycystic kidneys and postaxial polydactyly) should be present to establish the diagnosis. This report presents the pathologic findings in a stillborn female with the Meckel syndrome from Diyarbakır.Keywords : Meckel syndrome, encepholocele, polycystic kidney, congenital malformations
