Konjenital el redüksiyon defekti ile uterus anomalisinin birlikteliği

Abstract

Objective: Fetal hand anomalies can be overlooked in ultrasonographic examinations. In our report, we aim to present the case of hand reduction defect in a patient with uterine anomaly that we diagnosed during antenatal follow-up with the use of 2D and 3D ultrasound examinations. Case: Genetic consultation was provided to a patient who had absence of hand in one extremity during the ultrasound control performed for triple test while nothing was detected in the ultrasound for double test screening. After the amniocentesis, the karyotype of fetus was found as normal (46 --). No other anomaly was observed in perinatology consultation, anomaly screening and fetal echocardiography. Remaining gestational period of the patient was free of problem and a single 3300 g fetus was delivered by cesarean section through breech presentation and the pictures of the hand were taken with the permission of the family. Conclusion: Congenital hand reduction defects may occur together with uterine anomalies. Such anomalies can be diagnosed easily during ultrasonographic examinations in early weeks of gestation, and therefore they should be a part of early anomaly screening procedures.
