Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of fetal holoprosencephaly complicated with face malformation by two-dimensional(2D) and three-dimensional(3D) ultrasonography.Methods Fetal faces and brains were examined regularly with 3D ultrasonography when they were suspected abnormal with 2D ultrasonography and compaired the diagnoses with postnatal or induced delivery results.Results 11 cases of holoprosencephaly complicated with face malformation were diagnosed using 2D and 3D ultrasonography.Among these cases,there were 4 with single median mostril,2 with proboscis,2 with cheiloschisis,2 with multipte face malformation,1 with arhinia.They were all comfirmed by postnatal or induced delivery.Conclusions 3D ultrasonography provides visualized,three-dimensional,more precise and clearly fetal structure imagine.It has important supplement to 2D ultrasonography.2D ultrasonography combined with 3D ultrasonography can greatly enhance the diagnosis rate to holoprosencephaly complicated with face malformation.
