Prenatal diagnosis of fetal multiple hemivertebrae: the importance of 3D ultrasound assessment

N Volpe et al. J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med. 2020 May.

Abstract

We herein present a case of fetal multiple hemivertebrae detected at antenatal sonography. The use of the 3 D technology supported by a new contrast enhancement rendering algorithm (Crystal Vue) has allowed the accurate prenatal classification of the defect, confirmed at follow up, that would have been difficult to define by 2 D only.

Keywords: 3D ultrasound; Prenatal diagnosis; fetal spine; hemivertebra.
