We describe a single male infant who developed severe hydrops fetalis between 19 and 28 weeks of gestation. After delivery at 32 weeks he was treated by hemofiltration, prolonged ventilation and intravenous feeding. He had hypertelorism, orbital hypoplasia without proptosis, brachydactyly, frontal
OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of scleral buckling in a patient with severe (Type III) osteogenesis imperfecta.
METHODS
Single interventional case report of a 37-year-old woman, with clinically diagnosed osteogenesis imperfecta Type III, presenting with an inferior retinal detachment of the right eye.
A very early case of infantile cortical hyperplasia (Caffey disease) is reported. The ultrasound examination performed at 22 weeks gestational age evidenced angulations of the long bones, leading to the diagnosis of lethal osteogenesis imperfecta. Hydrops fetalis developed and the pregnancy was
Hyperplastic callus formation is a noteworthy condition in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta because it often mimicks osteosarcoma on radiography. The findings of CT and MRI in hyperplastic callus formation have not been reported. In the presented case, MRI demonstrated contrast enhancement and
OBJECTIVE
To characterize the prenatal sonographic features of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type II.
METHODS
Descriptive (case series).
METHODS
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, Chiang Mai University.
METHODS
Six fetuses with prenatal
Infantile cortical hyperostosis antenatal onset is an uncommon disease characterized by polyhydramnios, anasarca or hydrops, pulmonary hypoplasia, hepatomegaly, bowed hyperostotic long bones, and a poor prognosis. Sonographically the intrauterine manifestations may be similar to those of
OBJECTIVE. Osteogenesis imperfecta is a connective tissue disorder that results from the inability to produce normal collagen. Eight types are described; type II is considered the lethal variant. Because of abnormal collagen production, these patients possess many anatomic and functional
Non immunologic hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is relatively more frequent now since prevention and treatment of blood incompatibilities are common. Seven cases of NIHF were observed between November 1984 and April 1987; antenatal diagnosis by ultrasound scanning was possible in six of these seven cases.
OBJECTIVE
To report the first use of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) for spontaneous Descemet membrane detachment in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), keratoconus, and acute bullous keratopathy.
METHODS
A case report of a 25-year-old man with OI and
A retrospective study was performed of 13 short-limbed fetuses with lethal skeletal dysplasias that were evaluated with ultrasound (US) from 1981 to 1984. The specific diagnoses were thanatophoric dwarfism, achondrogenesis, osteogenesis imperfecta, and campomelic dwarfism. Death occurred in utero or
Ten short-limbed fetuses caused by skeletal dysplasia were diagnosed prenatally from September 1984 through July 1988. The final diagnosis was thanatophoric dwarfism in 7 cases and osteogenesis imperfecta congenita in 3 cases. The diagnosis was based on sonographic findings in all cases and
We report on the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic findings in a 20-week-old fetus with monosomy X and severe hydrops associated with fetal dwarfism. The fetus presented with osteoporosis, bent bones, multiple fractures, and distinctive symmetric submetaphyseal transverse bone interruptions or
An early case of prenatal Caffey disease is reported. Ultrasound examination performed at 20 weeks showed major angulations of long bones, but both ultrasound scan and X-rays failed to make the differential diagnosis between Caffey disease and lethal osteogenesis imperfecta. A cordocentesis allowed
In 42 cases, fetal abnormalities were diagnosed by obstetric ultrasonography and the pregnancy was terminated. The malformations included: anencephaly (22), severe hydrocephaly (4, one with a spina bifida), encephalocele and meningocele (2) amniotic band syndrome (4; a correct prenatal diagnosis was
Objective: Conventional genetic tests (QF-PCR and SNP-array) only diagnose ~40% of fetuses showing ultrasound abnormalities. Rapid Exome Sequencing (rES) may improve this diagnostic yield, but includes challenges such as uncertainties in
