Abstract

In a total of 618 pregnant women between 9 and 37 weeks' gestation, the fetal face was evaluated by two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasound imaging as part of a level III screening evaluation for fetal anomalies. A three-dimensional endovaginal probe (5 MHz) was used for examinations at between 9 and 15 weeks, and an abdominal three-dimensional probe (3.5 MHz) was used after 15 weeks. Three different three-dimensional image display modes were employed: (1) the orthogonal display; (2) the surface display; and (3) the transparent display. When we studied the three-dimensional orthogonal displays in a 125 cases evaluated by abdominal ultrasound, we found that the facial profile shown in the two dimensional image represented the true mid-sagittal profile in only 69.6% of the cases. In the remaining 30.4%, the profile view deviated from a true mid-sagittal section by up to 20 degrees in one or two planes. In a total of 25 facial anomalies detected by abdominal ultrasound, 20 were clearly demonstrated by both two-dimensional and three-dimensional technology. In the remaining five cases, three-dimensional ultrasound revealed or confirmed an additional defect or abnormality: a narrow cleft lip in an unfavorable position of the...Continue Reading
