Abstract:
Objective To discuss the feature of the ultrasonic image of the fetal congenital absence of the radius. Methods Five cases with congenital absence of the radius were examined by colour Doppler sonography and compared with normal fetuses. Results There were four characteristics of ultrasonic imaging:①The length of three radius was 0 cm in the six disabled limbs,others were 4 time s shorter than the normal identical pregnant fetuses. ②All the disabled limbs showed that the forearm was short and bent, and the hand was lopsided. ③All the cases were combined with hydramnios. ④Three abnormal fetuses were combined with other deformies.Conclusions Ultrasound is superior to other methods in diagnosing fetus congenital absence of the radius.
