Purpose. We evaluated the reliability of prenatal sonography and the usefulness of the umbilical vein and artery diameter ratio, transverse umbilical artery diameter, and systolic-diastolic ratio in detecting single umbilical artery (SUA). Methods. In 24 of 6,970 fetuses, SUA was detected using pre

β¦ Synopsis
Congenital laryngeal atresia is an extremely rare anomaly that in most cases is incompatible with life. About 50% of cases involve other major malformations. Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of this condition has been described only 6 times. We present a case in which prenatal sonographic examination at 21 weeks' menstrual age revealed enlarged, hyperechoic lungs, dilated upper airways, ascites, and a single umbilical artery. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of the prenatal diagnosis of laryngeal atresia in association with a single umbilical artery.
