Clinical S ignificance of Ultrasound Screening of Severe Fetal Malformations During11 and 13 +6 Gestational Weeks
Abstract：Objective To investigate the value of 11~13 +6 gestational weeks screening for fetal malformation by transabdominal ultra-sound.Methods Totally, 2187 pregnant women(2200 fetuses) with 11~13 +6 gestational weeks were checked by transabdominal or trans-vaginal ultrasound.The outcome of fetuses were followed up by the second trimester ultrasound examination and pathological examination after induced labor or after birth confirmation.Results 14 prenatal abnormalities were detected, including 4 case with cervical cystic hy-groma,2 cases with cardiac abnormalities(1 cases with single ventricle, and left, right heart rate disorders with severe three tricuspid regur -gitation in 1case) , 2 cases with exencephaly, 1 case with encephalocele and meningoceles ,1 case with alobar holoprosencephaly,1 case with large bladder,1 case with omphalocele, 2 cases of clubfoot(1 fetus was misdiagnosed, and the second trimester ultrasound examination showed normal).Conclusion Screening by transabdominal ultrasound may detect serious fetal anatomy malformations, and early termina-tion of pregnancy can greatly reduce the physical and mental harm that may bring to the pregnant women.
