present as an abnormal maternal screening test result or abnormal ultrasonography finding, this condition is not typically associated with structural abnormalities or abnormal maternal serum screening profiles. Therefore, prenatal diagnosis of Turner syndrome is complicated, and most cases are diagnosed incidentally or postnatally. In 1997, Lo et al. [3] demonstrated that fetal cell-free DNA (c...

The case presented illustrated one of the complications of sacrococcygeal teratoma, which is tumour rupture at birth. Other complications include fetal hydrops, fetal hydronephrosis, cervical dystocia, bleeding and death. Currently, diagnosis of sacrococcygeal teratoma is made during the prenat...

Ultrasonographic examination is widely used for screening of abnormal findings on prenatal screening. Cleft lip with or without cleft palate of the fetus can also be screened by using ultrasonography. Presence of abnormal findings of the fetal lip or palate can be detected by the imaging professionals. However, such findings may not be familiar to oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Oral and maxil...

INTRODUCTION Hypodontia is the most frequent developmental anomaly of the orofacial complex, and its detection in prenatal ultrasound may indicate the presence of congenital malformations, genetic syndromes and chromosomal abnormalities. To date, only a few studies have evaluated the histological relationship of human tooth germs identified by two-dimensional (2D) ultrasonography. In order to a...
