Koolen de Vries syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with an estimated prevalence 1:16000 in the general population but it is considered to be an underdiagnosed syndrome. We report a 17q21.31 microdeletion which was diagnosed prenatally in a fetus with aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA). Koolen de Vries syndrome is a rare chromosomal abnormality and according to the literature this is the first case in which the detection of ARSA led to this syndrome.
