Abstract:
Split hand malformation is a rare malformation with various presentations. The current report describes a case of split hand malformation detected using 2D and 3D ultrasonography at 16 weeks` gestation. 2D ultrasonographic findings were split hand malformation in the right hand and monodactyly in the left hand , and those findings were confirmed and further clarified using 3D imaging. Postmortem X ray findings were consistent with the ultrasonographic findings. We conclude that 3D ultrasonography can assist in clarifying 2D ultrasonography findings of hand malformations during the second trimester of pregnancy.
