Abstract
We describe the prenatal diagnosis of isolated bilateral fetal microph thalmia in a woman at increased risk of having a fetus with microphtha lmia. Ultrasound examinations at 16.1 and 19.5 weeks' gestation demons trated bilateral fetal microphthalmia with no other associated structu ral defects. The patient elected to terminate her pregnancy at 19.5 we eks. Pathological evaluation of the products of conception obtained by dilation and evacuation confirmed the prenatal diagnosis of isolated bilateral fetal microphthalmia.
