Unilateral Isolated Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective. To discuss a patient with a prenatal diagnosis of unilateral isolated femoral focal deficiency. Case. Antenatal diagnosis of unilateral isolated femoral focal deficiency was made at 20 weeks of gestation. The length of left femur was shorter than the right, and fetal femur length was below the fifth percentile. Proximal femoral focal deficiency was diagnosed. After delivery, the diagnosis was confirmed with skeletal radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging. In prenatal ultrasonographic examination, the early recognition and exclusion of skeletal dysplasias is important; moreover, treatment plans should be initiated, and valuable information should be provided to the family.

Proximal femoral focal deficiency associated with the Robin anomalad.
A case of unilateral proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) and the Robin anomalad is reported. Since bilateral PFFD and unusual facies have been reported before, we suggest an association between the Robin anomalad and PFFD.
متن کاملProximal Focal Femoral Deficiency
Proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD) is a developmental disorder of the proximal segment of the femur and of acetabulum resulting in shortening of the affected limb and impairment of the function. It is a spectrum of congenital osseous anomalies characterized by a deficiency in the structure of the proximal femur. The diagnosis is often made by radiological evaluation which includes identif...

متن کاملProximal femoral focal deficiency of the fetus - early 3D/4D prenatal ultrasound diagnosis.
Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency (PFFD) is a rare congenital syndrome of unknown etiology. Additional disorders can be present up to 70% of PFFD cases. Management (including termination) depends on the severity of the malformation. We present a case of a 32-year-old woman referred for routine ultrasound examination in the 12th week of pregnancy. Detailed 3D/4D evaluation revealed asymmetry of ...
متن کامل[Proximal focal femoral deficiency complicated by a proximal femur fracture].
Proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD) is a rare skeletal condition characterized by development failure of the subtrochanteric region of the femoral axis, with several degrees of shortening of the proximal region. There are no case reports of patients with this condition associated with a subtrochanteric fracture. We therefore describe herein the case of a newborn patient with clinical and r...
