    Author: Kassanos D, Botsis D, Katassos T, Panayotopoylos N, Zourlas P.
    Journal: Int J Gynaecol Obstet; 1991 Apr; 34(4):373-6. PubMed ID: 1674486.
    Abstract:
    A case of thanatophoric dwarfism is reported in a 35-year-old woman. The diagnosis was made at 34 weeks gestation by ultrasound. Marked shortening of the extremities, macrocephaly, narrow thorax and polyhydramnios were observed. The importance of routine ultrasound screening in pregnancy is emphasized, since such malformations can be detected prenatally.
