Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The characteristic imaging finding common to Joubert Syndrome (JS) and related disorders (JSRD) is the "molar tooth sign" (MTS). The prenatal imaging diagnosis of JS using both ultrasound and fetal MRI in families with an affected child has been reported. We report 2 cases in which the MTS was identified by sonography, prior to fetal MRI or genetic testing. Since definitive prenatal genetic testing may not be conclusive in JS, the ability to identify the MTS sonographically before 24 weeks provides a valuable adjunct to prenatal diagnosis.
