Female 33yo with cutaneous allergy from age of 20, now in 3rd pregnancy. 2 first girls are
normal and no abnormal history of family. She has been treated allergy while was in 12 weeks
of gestation [medrol, cefixin, antihistamine) for one month and changing to Prednisone
pommade.
She was recorded the 3rd pregnancy with 2 OB ultrasound examinations at 12 weeks and
18weeks: Fetus with normal attitude, heart rate 158b/min, nuchal translucency NT=1.1mm.
Fetal vertebral column normal.
But the 3rd OB ultrasound examination in 23th week, detected a micrognathia, abnormal
curved attitude of vertebral column, hyperextension, which appeared in days of follow-up. 2
small lungs in small thorax, a few movement of 2 upper and lower limbs and fingers in
extension time by time in uterus. But other viscera of fetus were normal.
MRI detected loss of septum pellucidum.
The parturient was sent to HV hospital for a prenatal care, an amniotic fluid analysis was done.
FISH test showed no abnormal chromosome of 13th, 18th, 21th, X and Y, and karyotype result
in 4 weeks next. In one week follow-up in hospital, with many sonologists, fetal attitude no
change which made thorax more compressed, small stomach and polyhydramnios due to fetus
cannot swallow.
Because of nothing change fetus one week, the poor pregnancy had to be end.
DISCUSSION
Fetus in 23 weeks with malformation= abnormal hyperextention of vertebral column and four
limbs and micrognathia, no septum pellucidum. FISH test showed normal 13, 18, 21, X , Y
chromosomes. (Double test and Triple test not yet performed).
In birth, micrognathia, fingers in gripping, curved vertebral column looked like abnormal 18th
chromosome.
Few in literature of abnormal curved vertebral column of fetus, there was 2 papers but the
column changes normal at birth without malformation and babies remain well.
