The classic features of osteogenesis imperfecta and campomelic dysplas
ia typically are so specific that these two forms of skeletal dysplasi
a are among the few that can be diagnosed in the second trimester of p
regnancy. We report a series of seven examples of osteogenesis imperfe
cta and one example of campomelic dwarfism to illustrate the difficult
y of differentiating these two disorders in utero. The prenatal sonogr
aphic findings in three of the osteogenesis imperfecta cases mimicked
campomelic dwarfism, whereas the case of campomelic dwarfism was anten
atally diagnosed as osteogenesis imperfecta.
