Facial clefts diagnosed before birth: routine ultrasound screening at the multi-disciplinary center for prenatal diagnosis \(PCPD\)
نویسنده
چکیده
Since 2005 in France, the national technical committee of prenatal ultra-sound screening (CNTE) has recommended that pregnant women have a routine second trimester ultrasound screening for facial clefts. The view on the coronal reference plane visualizes the continuity of the upper lip, and makes it possible to detect most facial clefts, but not isolated palatal clefts.

متن کاملClinical outcome of congenital talipes equinovarus diagnosed antenatally by ultrasound.
Congenital talipes equinovarus is a common anomaly which can now be diagnosed prenatally on a routine ultrasound scan at 20 weeks of gestation. Prenatal counselling is increasingly offered to parents with affected fetuses, but it is difficult to counsel parents if there is a chance that the fetus may not have talipes. Our study correlates the prenatal ultrasound findings of 14 infants diagnosed...
