✦ Synopsis

With respect to the letter by Dr. Seller [1998] concerning our article "Cervical Ribs in Fetuses With Ullrich-Turner syndrome", I should like to respond as follows.

The observation of cervical ribs in fetuses with Ullrich-Turner syndrome has, since publication in this journal, been followed up by a new and extended study, carried out in collaboration with Dr. J.W. Keeling in Edinburgh. This new investigation was completed in 1997 and is now in press in an international journal. Its purposes was to test the usefulness of the published observation of cervical ribs in hydropic fetuses with 45,X karyotype who had not previously been examined specifically for cervical ribs.

Anteroposterior radiographs from 36 hydropic fe-tuses were examined by one author without knowledge of fetal karyotype or pathological findings. Cervical ribs were demonstrated in 15 of 16 45,X fetuses and one of eight with trisomy 21. Cervical ribs were not seen in the remaining fetuses.
