Abstract:
From 1/1999 to 9/2004, 12720 pregnancies were examined and underwent ultrasound in Ob-Gyn Deparment of Bachmai Hospital and 64 fetuses were found with congenital malformations. The fetal malformations rate was 0.5%. Fetal malformations were detected mainly at primipa. Youngest fetal age was 12 weeks. Mean fetal age when detecting malformations was 22.8 weeks. Single malformation was 68.8%. The most common defects were anecephaly (23.4%), hydrocephaly (20.3%), holoprosencephaly (12.5%). 73.4% of pregnancies with malformation fetuses were terminated successfully by putting Cytotec to cause labour. One case was operated and one was aborted after putting cytotec failed. Failure rate of causing labour by Cytotec was 4%
