Chapter 59 Fetal Face/neck Flashcards
Many facial & neck anomalies are caused by _____

End of 1st trimester
View best to image cleft lip and palate:
Modified coronal
Maxilla & orbits are best imaged in the _____ plane
True coronal
The lens of the eye is seen as a ___
Small echogenic circle within the orbit
View that demonstrates the nasal bones, soft tissue, and mandible:
Longitudinal
Longitudinal view demonstrating the nasal bones soft tissue and mandible is useful to rule out:
Micrognathia, anterior encephalocele, nasal bridge defects, examine upper lip
View that shows orbital abnormalities and intraorbital distances:
Transverse
Transverse view showing orbital abnormalities an intraorbital distances is useful to evaluate:
Maxilla, mandible, tongue
Protrusion of brain from cranial cavity
Cephalocele
Anterior cephaloceles may cause
Hypertelorism(eyes fat apart)
AKA Kleeblattschadel
Clover-lead skull
Clover leaf skull is associated with ______ and _____
Skeletal dysplasia and ventriculomegally

Midface hypoplasia may be seen in fetuses with chromosome anomaly
Trisomy 21
Flat face defect is more easily noted with
Coexisting frontal bossing
A median cleft face syndrome consisting of a range of midline facial defects involving the eyes forehead and nose
Frontal dysplasia
Primary ultrasound finding in frontal dysplasia
Hypertelorism
Cause of frontal dysplasia
Unknown, occurrence is sporadic
