✦ Synopsis

We report a case of fetal varicella infection following the diagnosis of maternal varicella infection at 13 weeks of pregnancy. Anomalies noted sonographically at 26 weeks' gestation included oligohydramnios, symmetrically impaired fetal growth, limb anomalies, a thin placenta, and widespread dystrophic calcification of the abdominal cavity and chest, including the lungs and myocardium. Some of these sonographic anomalies have been reported previously. However, to our knowledge, prenatal diagnosis of calcification of the lungs and myocardium has not been described.
