Abstract
We investigated the possibility of using sonography to detect vernix caseosa, a complex fatty substance derived from desquamated epithelial cells and sebaceous material. In one of our cases, the sonographic appearance of vernix was dramatic, and its presence was confirmed at amniocentesis.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
