title: Prenatal diagnosis of cleft lip at 11 menstrual weeks using embryoscopy in the van der Woude syndrome.
abstract: On the basis of prenatal identification of a cleft lip by embryoscopy, a case of van der Woude syndrome was diagnosed at 11 menstrual weeks, allowing for early termination of pregnancy. The potential of embryoscopy to detect minor malformations in early pregnancy is discussed from both the technical and the ethical point of view.
