Summary

Early diagnosis of amnion rupture sequence is possible with first-trimester sonography and fetoscopy. This can clarify the cause of early fetal demise in missed abortions.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Prenatal Diagnosis
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Missed abortion often presents diagnostic challenges regarding the cause of fetal demise.
  • First-trimester ultrasound and fetoscopy are advanced prenatal diagnostic tools.

Observation:

  • A 9-week demised fetus exhibited characteristics of amnion rupture sequence.
  • Sonography and fetoscopy revealed amnion adhesion on the nose and limb constriction.

Findings:

  • The karyotype was normal (46,XX), ruling out chromosomal abnormalities.
  • Fetoscopy confirmed the sonographic diagnosis of early amnion rupture sequence.
  • The identified defects were limited to facial and limb involvement.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis of amnion rupture sequence can be achieved in the first trimester.
  • This diagnosis helps elucidate the cause of early fetal demise.
  • Understanding the etiology of fetal malformations is crucial for genetic counseling and future reproductive planning.
