Abstract:
A case of split hand anomaly detected by transvaginal sonography at 18 weeks of gestation is reported in which the diagnosis was difficult to establish. Different aspects of this pathology are discussed. Sonographic diagnosis of hand anomalies may be difficult to establish, even with experience. The ideal timing for the prenatal detection of this anomaly remains to be determined.
