Experience in prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of fetal microtia and associated abnormalities.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Prenatal ultrasound features, associated anomalies and genetic abnormalities of microtia cases were analyzed to explore the feasibility and value of prenatal ultrasound for the diagnosis of microtia.

Methods

The ultrasonographic features, associated anomalies, chromosome examination results and follow-up results of 81 fetuses with congenital microtia were analyzed retrospectively.

Results

Among the 81 fetuses with microtia diagnosed after birth, 2 cases were missed diagnosis on prenatal ultrasound, and 1 case was diagnosed as unilateral microtia by prenatal ultrasound but was found to be bilateral microtia after birth. Microtia was accompanied by an accessory auricle in 4 cases (4.94%) and low-set ears in 7 cases (8.64%). 22 cases (27.16%) were complicated w
