On 13,3 weeks of gestation we diagnosed an abnormal flow pattern in the umbilical artery and abnormal hyperechogenic structure in fetal abdomen. In next sonographic examination on 16 weeks of gestation we diagnosed ventriculomegaly and ahydramnion. We also observed spina bifida, hyperechogenic kidneys, abnormal flow pattern in the umbilical vein and pulmonary valve insufficiency. We performed genetic amniocentesis. We observed complete trisomy in cytogenetic examinations. The woman opted for an elective TOP according to the Polish Abortion Act on 20 weeks of gestation.
