title: Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of mid shaft hypospadias.
abstract: We report the prenatal diagnosis of mid shaft hypospadias and describe the sonographic features of fetal hypospadias including an abnormal urethral canal, ventral curvature of the distal penis, extension of the penile glans beyond the prepuce, and fetal micturation in a plane perpendicular to the penile shaft. An accurate family history is an essential part of the evaluation of the milder degrees of fetal hypospadias.
