ABSTRACT

We report the prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of a fetus with mandibulofacial dysostosis (Treacher Collins syndrome). Sonographic findings included: polyhydramnios, microcephaly, abnormal fetal facial features (slanting forehead, microphthalmos, micrognathia), and abnormal fetal swallowing. A review of the current literature pertaining to prenatal diagnosis of this condition is presented.
