Antenatal detection of fetal structural defects with ultrasound. 1975

C L Morgan, and A Haney, and A Christakos, and J Phillips

A case report of a cystic hygroma detected in utero by ultrasound at 16 weeks' gestation is presented. The potential for early second trimester detection of both CNS and non-CNS structural defects by diagnostic ultrasound is discussed "High risk" groups for fetal structural defects can be identified for screening purposes.

D003937	Diagnosis, Differential	Determination of which one of two or more diseases or conditions a patient is suffering from by systematically comparing and contrasting results of diagnostic measures.	Diagnoses, Differential,Differential Diagnoses,Differential Diagnosis
D004677	Encephalocele	Brain tissue herniation through a congenital or acquired defect in the skull. The majority of congenital encephaloceles occur in the occipital or frontal regions. Clinical features include a protuberant mass that may be pulsatile. The quantity and location of protruding neural tissue determines the type and degree of neurologic deficit. Visual defects, psychomotor developmental delay, and persistent motor deficits frequently occur.

D005817	Genetic Counseling	An educational process that provides information and advice to individuals or families about a genetic condition that may affect them. The purpose is to help individuals make informed decisions about marriage, reproduction, and other health management issues based on information about the genetic disease, the available diagnostic tests, and management programs. Psychosocial support is usually offered.	Counseling, Genetic,Genetic Counseling, Prenatal,Prenatal Genetic Counseling
