Abstract
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.
