Prenatal diagnosis of craniopagus

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1991
The long‐term prognosis of craniopagus, a congenital abnormality of monozygotic twinning, is strictly correlated to the type of shared cerebral structures. Hence, the purpose of prenatal diagnosis is not only to detect this malformation, but also to identify the fused cerebral structures.

Prenatal diagnosis of fucosidosis

Clinica Chimica Acta, 1975
Pregnancy from a family at risk for fucosidosis was monitored. The fetus was diagnosed as having a carrier state of the disease. alpha-L-fucosidase activity, however, was found to be absent in white blood cells obtained from identical twins after delivery. The diagnostic evaluation of (1) the enzyme activity in amniotic fluid and in cultivated amniotic

The sonogram showed the absence of bones in the cranial vault together with the presence of a disorganized cerebral mass, with loss of its normal anatomy. Post‐partum examination of the newborn confirmed the findings of the sonogram.

Prenatal diagnosis of haemophilia

Haemophilia, 1996
Genotype assessment based on direct identification of the pathogenic mutation in a chorionic villi sample obtained in the 11–12th gestational week is the most reliable method for prenatal diagnosis and should be used if available. Genetic linkage studies of polymorphisms should be the second choice in the assessment of carriers and in prenatal ...

Prenatal diagnosis of lissencephaly

Prenatal Diagnosis, 1991
AbstractWe report two cases of prenatal detection of lissencephaly by high‐resolution ultrasound. The first case studied was referred for high‐risk obstetrical management and serial antenatal ultrasounds because of a family history of lissencephaly in an unresolved chromosomal abnormality.

Prenatal Diagnosis of Hemoglobinopathies

Clinics in Perinatology, 1979
Abstract We attempted prenatal diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies in 15 cases — 11 for β-thalassemia and four for sickle-cell disease. Fetoscopy was used in seven cases, and placental aspiration in eight. One premature labor, with fetal loss, followed placental aspiration.

Prenatal diagnosis by ultrasound

The Journal of Perinatal & Neonatal Nursing, 1989
Prenatal diagnosis is defined as the determination of the nature of a disease in the fetus. Although only 3% to 5% of infants are born with a birth defect, prenatal diagnosis is an expanding field in health care practice. Prenatal diagnosis involves the disciplines of obstetric ultrasound, laboratory study for chromosome analysis/biochemical evaluation,
