Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Developmental Biology
  • Clinical Genetics

Background:

  • Adequate fetal movement is crucial for normal fetal growth and development.
  • Limited fetal movement can lead to abnormal fetal morphogenesis, a condition known as fetal akinesia deformation sequence (FADS).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the differential diagnosis of fetal akinesia deformation sequence (FADS).
  • To provide information on prenatal diagnosis, prognosis, perinatal management, and recurrence risks associated with FADS.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of the literature on fetal akinesia.
  • Classification of FADS etiology into five categories: neuropathy, myopathy, restrictive dermopathy, teratogen exposure, and intrauterine constraint.

Main Results:

  • FADS results from diverse etiologies, including neurological, muscular, and external factors.
  • Comprehensive understanding of FADS requires consideration of its varied causes and impacts on fetal development.

Conclusions:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis of FADS is essential for appropriate prenatal and perinatal management.
  • Understanding the etiology and prognosis of FADS aids in counseling families regarding recurrence risks and long-term outcomes.
