Exophthalmus--prenatal ultrasonic features for diagnosis of Crouzon syndrome

Prenat Diagn. 1989 Nov;9(11):805-8. doi: 10.1002/pd.1970091109.

Abstract

Prenatal real-time ultrasonographic diagnosis of exophthalmus is presented. Diagnosis was made at the 35th week of gestation in a fetus of a patient affected with Crouzon syndrome (craniofacial dysotosis). Recognition of exophthalmus as a part of Crouzon syndrome and the easy visualization of the eye balls and palpebrae in the third trimester made the diagnosis possible.
