Case report
Following images represent an anomaly observed during several ultrasonographic scans from 13 to 28 weeks of pregnancy. The parents opted for the continuation of the pregnancy, but agreed with amniocentesis which revealed normal karyotype (46, XX).
Although biometry of the long bones was around 5th percentile, the rest of the fetal biometry was concordant with gestational age throughout the pregnancy.
Images 1, 2, 3, and 4: 13 weeks of the pregnancy.
