    Author: Bernaschek G, Dadak C, Kratochwil A.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1980 Oct; 40(10):868-75. PubMed ID: 7439640.
    Abstract:
    Today, echography can be considered as routine diagnosis in every pregnancy. Besides the detection of growth retardation very often in early stages of the fetal life malformations can be diagnosed incompatible with postnatal life. Reviewing the cases of the II. Women's Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Vienna within the last 2 years, 13 cases of serious malformations could be detected by regular routine ultrasonic examinations. The echographic appearance of these partially very rare cases is discussed and documented by pictures. The advantage of ultrasonic diagnosis in comparison with other diagnostic procedures in the detection of malformation is discussed. The necessity and importance of regular ultrasonic examinations of all pregnancies as well in respect in the detection of malformations are stressed.
