The findings of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis were compared with the autopsy findings in 183 fetuses (between the 14th and 24th week of gestation), aborted for fetal malformations in the period from 1995 to 1997. In these 183 cases, the primary diagnosis showed 50 central nervous system anomalies, 48 cardiovascular system anomalies, 42 genitourinary system anomalies, 18 respiratory system anomalies, 8 skeleton system anomalies, 6 gastrointestinal system anomalies and 11 other abnormalities. Of the total number of cases, 41% had multiple malformations. In 144 cases (78%), the prenatal diagnosis was confirmed by autopsy, in 36 cases (20%) the prenatal diagnosis was confirmed with additional significant pathology, and in only 3 cases (2%) the prenatally detected malformation was not confirmed by pathological examination. Autopsy remains an important component of the evaluation of fetal losses after induced abortion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D005260 Female Females
D005315 Fetal Diseases Pathophysiological conditions of the FETUS in the UTERUS. Some fetal diseases may be treated with FETAL THERAPIES. Embryopathies,Disease, Fetal,Diseases, Fetal,Embryopathy,Fetal Disease
D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D016216 Ultrasonography, Prenatal The visualization of tissues during pregnancy through recording of the echoes of ultrasonic waves directed into the body. The procedure may be applied with reference to the mother or the fetus and with reference to organs or the detection of maternal or fetal disease.
