Routine prenatal ultrasound of a massively obese mother at 21 weeks of gestation revealed short-limb dwarfism in the fetus. The proportionate shortening of tubular bones of about 50 per cent of the normal length, the absence of thoracic dysplasia, and a normal head circumference narrowed the diagnos
Trisomy 9 is a relatively rare chromosomal abnormality. There have been no reports of first trimester ultrasound findings associated with mosaic or nonmosaic trisomy 9 in the literature. A case of nonmosaic trisomy 9 diagnosed prenatally with ultrasound findings at 11.7 weeks gestation is presented
Short-rib polydactyly dysplasia (SRP) is an autosomal recessive, lethal skeletal dysplasia. Sonographic assessment of subsequent pregnancies is, therefore, recommended. This case indicates that this diagnosis can be made in the latter part of the first trimester. A 30-year-old multigravid woman pre
We have studied a fetus with the prenatal sonographic diagnosis of severe nonimmune hydrops fetalis at 16 weeks of gestation, who was later shown by amniocentesis to have Down syndrome.
