title: Ultrasound detection of Apert syndrome: a case report and literature review.
abstract: 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.
