Prenatal diagnosis of succenturiate lobe by ultrasonography and color Doppler imaging.
At 16 weeks' gestation, ultrasonography demonstrated a band-like structure in the amniotic cavity of a 27-year-old woman. Color Doppler imaging revealed blood flow in this band-like structure and a diagnosis of a placenta with succenturiate lobe rather than an amniotic band was made.
