Three-dimensional sonographic findings of diprosopus: a case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diprosopus is one of the rarest anomalies. It typically manifests as bilateral alterations and often involves anomalies within the cranial structures. In this report, we present a case of a fetus with diprosopus diagnosed prenatally. Along with reviewing relevant literature on prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of diprosopus, we aim to raise awareness of its ultrasound characteristics.

Case presentation

We report a case of craniofacial and intracranial abnormalities detected during a 26-week ultrasound examination. Two-dimensional ultrasound (2D ultrasound) demonstrates significant increases in head circumference, widening of the interocular distance, and abnormal echo patterns in the facial structure. Three-dimensional ultrasound (3D ultrasound) revealed the presence
