Campomelic dysplasia: case report and review.
Initial ultrasound of a fetus in the third trimester demonstrated shortened and bent fetal extremities with a narrow and misshapen thorax. These findings were suggestive of a fetus affected with a possible lethal skeletal dysplasia. Decisions regarding antepartum, intrapartum and neonatal care were made in this context. A newborn with campomelic dysplasia was delivered and suffered a rapid downhill course.
