Abstract
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an inherited condition predominantly affecting the clavicles and cranial structures. Advancements in prenatal imaging offer the potential for early detection. A 30-year-old pregnant woman came in for a review of 2nd trimester anomaly scan. The ultrasound suggested a diagnosis of non-lethal skeletal dysplasia. Both parents were called in for counseling. The father was observed to have facial dysmorphism. An X-ray examination clinched the final diagnosis of cleidocranial dysplasia, which was confirmed through whole exome sequencing. This case report highlights the antenatal detection of cleidocranial dysplasia and emphasizes the crucial role of taking family history in a suspected case of skeletal dysplasia.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
