Abstract
The ridge pattern of the external ear was evaluated [ultrasonically] in 50 normal [human] subjects during the 2nd half of pregnancy. Definition progressed with gestational age, with a fully defined pattern implying maturity beyond 33 wk. The external ear was edematous in patients with severe fetal hydrops. Anomalous shape or unusual prominence of the ear was observed antenatally in 4 cases of lethal dwarfism.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
