Makrydimas and colleagues recently reported two cases of subcutaneous edema in the back of the fetal neck at 10-14 weeks associated with osteogenesis imperfecta [Makrydimas et al., 2001]. We report a very similar case we have observed at 13 and 16 weeks in a pregnancy without any family risk. A hea
We report a personal experience of first-trimester prenatal diagnosis of Ellis-van Creveld (EvC) syndrome based on typing of microsatellite markers flanking the EvC locus. An heterozygous fetus was diagnosed with a diagnostic accuracy of 96 per cent. The DNA prediction was confirmed by ultrasound at
We decided to assess the practicability of introducing nuchal translucency (NT) measurements as a screening programme for fetal Down's syndrome in the first trimester of pregnancy, within the population of women who receive ultrasound examinations in our department. Over a l-year period, measurement
