Abstract

A case of prenatally diagnosed agnathia-otocephaly is reported. Agnathia is an extremely rare anomaly characterized by an absence or hypoplasia of the mandible and abnormal horizontal position of the ears. The targeted 2-D ultrasonography at 24 weeks of gestation revealed abnormal lower facial profile. Surface rendering 3-D ultrasonography was used to evaluate the facial feature, showing excellent image when compared to the fetal face at autopsy. The reported case is discussed with a short review of the literature.
