Transthalamic plane
coloboma
• Nose and nasal bone
• Sagittal view.
• Nasal bone hypoplasia
• BPD/NASAL BONE ratio >11 sensitivity and specificity of 49% and 92%,
• A single cut-off of 2.5mm
• NBL of less than 0.75 MoM provided the best definition of nasal
bone hypoplasia sensitivity and specificity of 49% and 92%,
• Prenasal thickness : increases with gestation(2.4mm at 16 weeks to
4.6mm at 24 weeks)
Congenital Diaphragmatic
Hernia
HEART
• At the origin, the outflow tracts are seen crossing each other with pulmonary artery
anteriorly and aorta posteriorly.
• The anterior aortic root should be continuous with the IVS and posterior aortic root
with mitral valve.
• Bifurcation of pulmonary artery must be documented.
• The crossing of outflow tract can be appreciated in transverse view which shows
cross section of aorta and long section of pulmonary artery.

Structural- Ileal/jejunal atresia, ARM
Functional: Meconium plug,
Hirschprung disease
LOWER ABDOMEN

Sirenomelia
Caudal Regression.
Sagittal sonogram of spine at 21 weeks shows
abrupt termination of ossiied vertebral bodies
Transverse color Doppler image at level of
bladder shows lack of ossiied pelvic bones
THE EXTREMITIES
• All the four extremities must be identified.
• In each extremity we look for:
• The three segments – proximal, mid and distal
• The three features – length ,echogenicity and shape
• Subjective assessment of muscle mass
• Bone scanned throughout long section
• Upper limb
• Humera, including humeral length(not routine )
• Radius/Ulna of both sides
• Fingers and thumbs including hand opening
• Lower limb
• Both femora, including femur length (FL) as a part of biometric
assessment
• Both tibia and fibula, sagittal views to demonstrate orientation
of the ankles to screen for talipes.
• Both feet
• It is important to note that foot and leg are at right angles to each other.
• In a low risk patient, counting of fingers is not essential but it would be wise
to look for opening and closing of hands.
