Jacob syndrome is a sex chromosome aneuploidy comprising of an extra Y choromosome usually diagnosed late in postnatal life or never diagnosed throughout the life. Its prenatal diagnosis is usually accidental due to lack of specific fetal phenotype. The case presented here is that of a prenatally diagnosed Jacob syndrome associated with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD) which is an uncommon fetal phenotype, not reported in the literature so far.
