Abstract

An unusual combination of congenital anomalies was found in a baby born at the Mountainside Hospital, Montclair, N. J. The parents were Chinese; the father was 32 years old, the mother 26, and both were apparently in good health. There was one other child, a healthy girl of 5 years. The mother had had no miscarriages, and no history of abnormality on either side of the family was elicited. The mother's pregnancy had been normal, and the baby was born at term. After a labor of thirty hours, the baby was born spontaneously and breathed as soon as delivered. The birth weight was 6 pounds and 10 ounces (3,011 Gm.). One point is worth mentioning: When the mother first came for examination during the third month of gestation, two hairpin pessaries were removed from the cervical canal. They had been inserted over a year before as a means of contraception
