Ultrasound detection of Apert syndrome: a case report and literature review.
Apert Syndrome is characterized by craniosynostosis, bilateral syndactyly, and midfacial hypoplasia. Although it was first described by Wheaton in 1894, it was first diagnosed prenatally only a decade ago-with only five cases reported in the literature. A sixth case is reported here. Prenatal diagnosis of Apert syndrome is reviewed.
