Radiological abnormalities in children born as a result of assisted conception.
Over 15,000 children are born each year as a result of the various techniques of assisted conception. In 1991, there were 2083 live births in Australia and New Zealand as a result of these techniques. Radiological abnormalities relating to the increased rate of prematurity, a probable increase in the risk of congenital malformations and a number of cases of neural crest tumours seen in these infants will be presented.
