description Bartsocas-Papas syndrome (BPS) is a rare form of autosomal recessive disease, which is often severe and most of the time lethal. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature, so far mainly from the Mediterranean ancestry. We are describing here a case of severe form of BPS, which we encountered in our hospital in Dubai, UAE, which was diagnosed by antenatal scan; the baby had typical features of BPS and died immediately within few hours of life. Parents were first-degree consanguineous couples, and there was a family history of this disorder.
