Abstract

A patient with a singleton pregnancy was referred for three-dimensional ultrasonography (3DUS) at 18 + 3 weeks for suspected hypomineralization of the skull bones and absence of the nasal bones.

In addition, a fractured right clavicle was identified. The remainder of the fetal anatomy was normal and biometry was appropriate for gestational age. Genetic amniocentesis revealed a 46,XX fetal karyotype. Family history was positive for a 5-year-old sibling with an open anterior fontanelle. Cleidocranial dysplasia was suspected. A female neonate was delivered by elective repeat Cesarean section at 40 + 3 weeks of gestation without complications and discharged home 3 days after delivery. Prenatal diagnosis was confirmed by physical and radiological evaluation. The infant died at 8 weeks of age due to respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia secondary to B-cell deficiency. RUNX2 mutations were not detected by molecular analysis. There are three relevant aspects to this case: (1) clear visualization of the widened fontane...Continue Reading
