“…Cleft lips, micrognathia, malformed ears, and frontal bossing have all been reported to be better displayed by 3DUS. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] To our knowledge, the use of 3DUS in a fetus with congenital epulis has not been reported. In addition to providing a surface-rendered display of the mass, which facilitated parental counseling, the 3DUS images showed a high likelihood of functional impairment of the nasal airway because the mass was seen obstructing both nares.…”

Three-dimensional, multiplanar sonography, using a volume data set acquired with a 3D probe, has revolutionized ultrasonographic imaging and takes sonographers to a new perception of the fetus in 3 dimensions. Real time scanning, until the late nineties only possible in B-mode, can now be performed in 3D with up to 40 frames/sec. Fetal neurology emerged as a new perinatal research field with the 4D visualization of fetal behavior. Doppler ultrasound, diversified and refined from continuous wave and pulsed Doppler to Color – and Power Doppler, when added to 3D sonography, creates fascinating options of noninvasive fetal vascular mapping (sonoangiography) and vascular assessment of placenta. The diagnostic and demonstrative potential of an acquired 3D volume data set can be maxed with the help of postprocessing and rendering software. After storage, the evaluation of fetal 3D data sets can happen without the patient, with the option of specialist consultation, using telemedicine. In the article, the new 3D “modes” like surface rendering, maximum mode, 3D Color and Power Doppler, STIC, volume rendering, and glass body rendering, are described and illustrated in their display of normal fetal anatomy.

“…7). 34 Accurate depiction of the fetal ear is important because ear anomalies can be associated with complex syndromes. Merz et al concluded that 3DUS consistently depicted facial dysmorphology with greater accuracy and clarity, particularly in cases with subtle facial abnormalities.…”

“…Abnormal development of the sutures can be associated with dysmorphic syndromes and metabolic disturbances. 7,34,40 With 3DUS visualization of overlapping sutures in fetal death and in craniosynostosis or abnormal cranial contours such as cloverleaf skull can be clearly seen. 25 This possibility is also very helpful in the evaluation of nasal bones as described by several authors.…”

Abstract:The evaluation of the fetal face is an important part of every ultrasound examination since detailed facial examination can provide many information alerting the examiner about possible associated anomalies. Face and the brain have the same embryonic origin. By using 2 and 3D ultrasound techniques, it is possible to obtain clear images of different fetal face defects. Incorporation of the 4D ultrasonography made it possible to examine fetal behavior including fetal face movements. In that way using the ultrasound in the examination of the fetal face provides many new information not just about the morphology but also about neurological development and function of the fetal face.
