Jr. Wax et al., Hepatic vascular calcification: An early second trimester sonographic feature of idiopathic infantile arterial calcinosis, AM J OBST G, 185(5), 2001, pp. 1267-1268
Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of idiopathic infantile arterial calcinosis
has been limited to the third trimester. We report a monozygotic twin gesta
tion for which an 18-week ultrasound detected the unique finding of hepatic
vascular calcification as the earliest feature of the disorder. In contras
t to previous reports, second-trimester ultrasound may permit timely diagno
sis of idiopathic infantile arterial calcinosis.
