Abstract:
A case of prenatally diagnosed agnathia-otocephaly is reported. Agnathia is an extremely rare anomaly characterized by an absence or hypoplasia of the mandible and abnormal horizontal position of the ears. The targeted 2-D ultrasonography at 24 weeks of gestation revealed abnormal lower facial profile. Surface rendering 3-D ultrasonography was used to evaluate the facial feature, showing excellent image when compared to the fetal face at autopsy. The reported case is discussed with a short review of the literature.

Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
