Prenatal Diagnosis of Otocephaly by Three-dimensional Ultrasonography

Agnathia-otocephaly: prenatal diagnosis by two- and three-dimensional ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Case report.

A case of prenatally diagnosed otocephaly is reported. Otocephaly is an extremely rare malformation characterized by absence or hypoplasia of the mandible and abnormal horizontal position of the ears. 2D ultrasound performed at 25 weeks of gestation revealed agnathia, proboscis and hypotelorism. 3D ultrasound (rendering mode) and magnetic resonance imaging were used to evaluate the facial featu...

Prenatal Diagnosis of Isolated Hypospadias by Using “Tulip Sign” with Two and Three-Dimensional Ultrasonography

Hypospadias is an anomaly of the male urogenital tract which occurs as a result of deficient closure of the urethral groove. Hypospadias is the most commonly seen urogenital anomaly in male neonates, but it is rarely diagnosed during prenatal period. Herein, a severe hypospadias case which was diagnosed by using 2D (two-dimensional) and 3D (three-dimensional) ultrasonography at 28 weeks of preg...

Prenatal Diagnosis of a Fetus with Ring Chromosomal 15 by Two- and Three-Dimensional Ultrasonography

We report on a prenatal diagnosis of ring chromosome 15 in a fetus with left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and severe intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). A 31-year-old woman, gravida 2 para 1, was referred because of increased nuchal translucency at gestational age of 13 weeks. Comprehensive fetal ultrasound examination was performed at 19 weeks revealing an early onset IUGR, left C...

Prenatal Diagnosis of Ectrodactyly in the First Trimester by Three-Dimensional Ultrasonography.

Introduction Ectrodactyly, also known as split hand/foot malformation, is a rare developmental abnormality of the limbs that consists of absent central digits, a deep median cleft, and fusion of the remaining lateral digits, ultimately producing clawlike extremities. This case represents one of the earliest reported diagnoses of this anomaly to utilize three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography. Ca...
