  • Title: Vernix in amniotic fluid: sonographic detection.
    Author: Hill LM, Breckle R.
    Journal: Radiology; 1986 Jan; 158(1):80. PubMed ID: 3510029.
    Abstract:
    We investigated the possibility of using sonography to detect vernix caseosa, a complex fatty substance derived from desquamated epithelial cells and sebaceous material. In one of our cases, the sonographic appearance of vernix was dramatic, and its presence was confirmed at amniocentesis.
