Saddle nose deformity is also seen in chronic maternal alcoholism Along with this anomaly there is also cleft cleft lip deformity. Sagittal B-mode ultrasound as well as in the 3-D ultrasound images. In this case, fetal ultrasound shows collapse of the nose aka saddle nose which is well appreciated in both Saddle-nose-with-cleft-lip-in-holoprosencephalyįetal holoprosencephaly is often associated with multiple facial anomalies also. Ultrasound imaging of alobar holoprosencephaly- sonoworld article Radiopedia article on radiology of alobar holoprosencephalyĢ. The above ultrasound images of alobar holoprosencephaly are courtesy of Dr. Holoprosencephaly also known as alobar holoprosencephaly. All these ultrasound features are suggestive of a severe case of Also, surrounding the mono ventricle is a rim of cerebral cortical tissue. Thalami appear to be fused forming a single structure. In addition, the 2-D ultrasound image of theįetal brain shows a single common ventricle or what is known as a mono-ventricle running from one side to the other with absence of midline structures such as the falx cerebri. This is known as cyclopia and the fetus is said to be a cyclops.
In addition, there is a rudimentary single eye seen lower down in the midline. The 3-D ultrasound images of the fetal face show absence of the nose orĪrhinia. This second trimester fetus shows all the features of alobar holoprosencephaly. micrognathia can be associated with a number of other fetal anomalies includingĪneuploidy and non-aneuploidic syndromes.These ultrasound images of micrognathia are courtesy of Dr Durr-e-Sabih, FRCP. Micrognathia is the result of an abnormality in the development of the first branchial arch during early fetal life. In addition the third ultrasound image also shows evidence of clubfoot or talipes equinovarus. Associated with micrognathia, there is also an element of difficulty or improper Fetal swallowing resulting in polyhydramnios, which is also evident in these ultrasound Micrognathia is diagnosed usually in the third trimester because the lower jaw undergoes maximum growth in this Note the overhanging upper lip in these ultrasound images of micrognathia. these ultrasound features are diagnostic of a condition called micrognathia or a small In a sagittal section of the fetal face can be appreciated in both 2-D and 3-D Ultrasound images shown above. This 3rd trimester fetus (28 weeks) shows an anomaly of the fetal face the chin and lower lip appear to be receded as compared to the upper lip and upper jaw.
