[Prenatal diagnosis of limb and digital abnormalities. Evaluation of the activity of the Port Royal University Clinic from 1979 to 1983. Apropos of 30 cases].
Since 1979, thanks to high level ultrasonography systematic ultrasonic examinations between the 18th and the 22nd week of pregnancy have permitted to prediagnose limb and extremity abnormalities. Embryoscopy and foetoscopy can be used as additional techniques. This paper reports the activity results of the Port Royal Maternity hospital, between 1979 and 1983. In this hospital's Prenatal diagnosis Center, ultrasonographists, obstetricians, geneticists, surgeons, pediatricians and foetopathologists work together fruitfully. 16 limb abnormalities and 14 extremity abnormalities were detected there. We describe the circumstances of their detection, the diagnostic methods used, and the obstetrical attitude chosen.
