## Abstract ## Purpose To determine the prevalence of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in cases of congenital heart disease (CHD) and to evaluate whether the prenatal diagnosis of isolated CHD was a significant risk factor for IUGR. ## Methods We conducted a retrospective caseβcontrol stud

β¦ Synopsis
Chromosome analysis of amniotic fluid cells and amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein determinations were used to investigate a fetus with severe intrauterine growth retardation in the third trimester. The karyotype was 47,XY,18+ and increased alpha-fetoprotein levels indicated the presence of congenital malformations. We suggest that when severe fetal growth retardation is detected early in the antepartum course, amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein and amniotic fluid cell chromosome studies be done to determine if congenital anomalies may be an etiological factor.

Objective: To determine whether a systematic stream-lined approach could be routinely used in the evaluation of fetal intracranial anatomy. Methods: Nine thousand six hundred uncomplicated pregnancies were evaluated using a three-level view of fetal brain imaging. An axial scan, which passed through
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Ten years ago an unusual association of prenatal growth retardation, microcephaly, coloboma of the iris/eye anomalies, congenital heart defects, and urogenital anomalies was reported for the first time in three siblings. Autosomal recessive inheritance was presumed. This
Varicella syndrome (VS) specific malformations were sonographically seen at 22 weeks and 3 days of gestation. Fetal infection was demonstrated by detection of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA in fetal blood and amniotic fluid by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Following therapeutic abortion, fetal
