title: Antenatal-onset infantile cortical hyperostosis and nonimmune hydrops.
abstract: Infantile cortical hyperostosis antenatal onset is an uncommon disease characterized by polyhydramnios, anasarca or hydrops, pulmonary hypoplasia, hepatomegaly, bowed hyperostotic long bones, and a poor prognosis. Sonographically the intrauterine manifestations may be similar to those of osteogenesis imperfecta, type II.
