Proximal femoral focal deficiency is a rare skeletal disorder, with an estimated incidence of 0.11 to 0.2/10,000 births. The bilateral form is uncommon, occurring in 10 to 15% of cases. We report a case of bilateral proximal femoral focal deficiency diagnosed by ultrasound at 30 weeks' gestation. Differential diagnosis, prognosis and management are discussed.
We report a case of cutaneous hemangioma of the thigh detected by prenatal ultrasound. A hypoechoic homogeneous mass, filled with low-density echoes, was visualized on the posterior aspect of the right thigh, close to the genital region, at 36 weeks. Low-velocity arterial flow was detected within the mass by color and pulsed Doppler and the diagnosis of cutaneous hemangioma was suspected. No other anomalies were detected and the pregnancy evolved uneventfully to term. The prognosis and management of this condition are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
