The diagnostic criteria for this entity include: femoral hypoplasia in association with facial dysmorphism. Its pathogenesis is unknown. However, it has been associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus during pregnancy. The present is a case of a pregnant woman with type-2 diabetes mellitus with a 17-year disease course without associated complications. The first-trimester screening ultrasound study revealed a female fetus with micrognathia and low-set ears. On week 22+4 of pregnancy, ultrasound showed a fetus with micrognathia, bilateral femoral agenesis, and hemivertebra at the S3-S4 level associated with a skin defect at the same level. Key words: Micrognathia; Femoral agenesis; Diabetes mellitus.
