A Case of the Type I Thanatophoric Dysplasia Diagnosed in the 2nd Trimester / 대한산부인과학회지

ABSTRACT

Skeletal dysplasias, a heterogenous group of bone growth disorders including thanatophoric dysplasia can be detected by routine prenatal ultrasound examination. As it is difficult to make a specific diagnosis, prediction of prognosis is of importance for obstetric management. In order to specify diagnosis, radiological, pathological and molecular genetic examination are often required. Our report describes a case of the type I thanatophoric dysplasia diagnosed specifically and terminated in the 2nd trimester.
