D. Chitayat et al., PRENATAL-DIAGNOSIS OF RETINAL NONATTACHMENT IN THE WALKER-WARBURG SYNDROME, American journal of medical genetics, 56(4), 1995, pp. 351-358
We report on the prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of Walker-Warburg
syndrome based on cerebral and ocular findings, The ultrasound study
done at 37 weeks gestation documented hydrocephalus and retinal nonatt
achment consistent with this syndrome, The ability to detect retinal n
onattachment prenatally may have implications for the prenatal diagnos
is of other conditions which have early retinal nonattachment as one o
f their findings, However, it is uncertain how early in pregnancy this
defect can be detected. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
