Birth Defects Res 2024; 116:e2348. [PMID: 38801241 DOI: 10.1002/bdr2.2348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Absent or hypoplastic nasal bone (AHNB) on first or second-trimester ultrasonography (USG) is an important soft marker of Down syndrome. However, due to its varied incidence in euploid and aneuploid fetuses, there is always a dilemma of whether to go for invasive fetal testing for isolated AHNB. This study aims to assess outcomes specifically within the context of Indian ethnicity women. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective observational study. All patients who reported with AHNB in the first- or second-trimester USG were included. Genetic counseling was done, and noninvasive and invasive testing was offered. Chromosomal anomalies were meticulously recorded, and pregnancy was monitored. RESULTS The incidence of AHNB in our study was 1.16% (47/4051). Out of 47 women with AHNB, the isolated condition was seen in 32 (0.78%) cases, while AHNB with structural anomalies was seen in nine cases (0.22%). Thirty-nine women opted for invasive testing. Six out of 47 had aneuploidy (12.7%), while two euploid cases (4.25%) developed nonimmune hydrops. The prevalence of Down syndrome in fetuses with AHNB was 8.5% (4/47) and 0.42% (17/4004) in fetuses with nasal bone present. This difference was statistically significant (p = .001). CONCLUSION The results indicate that isolated AHNB cases should be followed by a comprehensive anomaly scan rather than immediately recommending invasive testing. However, invasive testing is required when AHNB is associated with other soft markers or abnormalities. As chromosomal microarray is more sensitive than standard karyotype in detecting chromosomal aberrations, it should be chosen over karyotype.

Abstract
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD), also known as Marie-Sainton syndrome, is a rare disorder of autosomal dominant type that presents specific characteristics at the skeletal and dental level. The diagnosis of CCD is based on clinical and radiographic findings. Panoramic, cephalometric and anterior poster radiographs have been used for its diagnosis in dentistry. However, these radiological techniques have limitations, and advances in technology with new imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound have emerged, contributing to the diagnosis of CCD. Therefore, the aim of this review was to identify and describe current imaging studies that contribute to both the diagnosis and adequate and efficient treatment planning of CCD, and describe the clinical and radiographic characteristics of patients with this syndrome.

Posterior fossa subdural hematoma in a neonate with cleidocranial dysostosis after a spontaneous vaginal delivery: a case report. Childs Nerv Syst 2021; 37:683-686.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cleidocranial dysostosis (CCD) is an anomaly characterized by delayed closure of the cranial sutures, midface hypoplasia, moderately short stature, hypoplastic or aplastic clavicles, dental abnormalities, and other complications. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of posterior fossa subdural hematoma (PFSDH) after vaginal delivery in a neonate with CCD, which presented with several clinical symptoms such as apnea, vomiting, and bradycardia. Our patient, who had a family history of CCD, developed apnea and vomiting shortly after birth; PFSDH was detected by head computed tomography, and the patient recovered well following standard medical treatment. CONCLUSION The prognosis of intracranial hemorrhage in neonates with CCD is generally poor. In neonates, PFSDH occurs by the following mechanism: the distortion of the infant's cranium during delivery, by the strong force, causes elongation of the falx and angulation of the tentorium that leads to tears in the posterior fossa venous structures, which then cause bleeding into the subdural space. In CCD, the forces occurring during vaginal delivery may causeexcessive distortion of the fragile skull. An awareness of CCD is hence important to avoid vaginal delivery in prenatally diagnosed CCD cases with a family history of CCD.

Is Noninvasive Prenatal Screening Appropriate for Pregnant Women Age 35 or Older In Cases if Isolated Fetal Nasal Bone Abnormalities in The Chinese Han Population? Med Sci Monit 2020; 26:e924387.

Abstract
Background Ethnic background may affect the prevalence of nasal bone absence and the length of the nasal bone. This study aimed to elucidate the significance of absent or hypoplastic fetal nasal bone in the Chinese Han population and to formulate an optimal management plan for patients age 35 or older in cases of isolated abnormal fetal nasal bone. Material/Methods We prospectively assigned pregnant women whose fetuses had nasal bone absence or hypoplasia to separate groups according to their choice for noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2018. Demographic data, ultrasound findings, results of conventional maternal serum screening and NIPS, fetal karyotype, pregnancy outcomes, and expenses associated with prenatal testing were recorded. The incidence and odds ratio of nasal bone abnormality and the sensitivity and specificity of different prenatal genetic screening tests were calculated. Results A total of 1946 cases with fetal nasal bone absence or hypoplasia were included. Cases of isolated nasal bone abnormality (1736 cases) were divided into the NIPS group (Gr 1, n=429) and the non-NIPS group (Gr 2, n=1307). Sixty-four cases involved chromosomal abnormality. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of NIPS in Gr 1 were 100%, 100%, 100%, and 100%, respectively. The odds ratio of fetal chromosomal abnormalities for isolated fetal nasal bone abnormalities when maternal age was ≥35 was 4.615 (95% CI: 1.592–13.381). The cost-effectiveness ratio of contingent screening (NIPS first) was significantly lower than amniocentesis directly. Conclusions The nasal bone provides an important marker for chromosome abnormalities in some populations, but to a lesser extent in the Chinese Han population. NIPS is an excellent first option for follow-up among pregnant women age ≥35 in cases of absent or hypoplastic fetal nasal bone in the first trimester ultrasound scan.

Abstract
In this review, we discuss aspects of the prenatal diagnosis of fetal skeletal malformations, concentrating on the advantages offered by different imaging techniques and the approaches that are of value in evaluating a suspected skeletal dysplasia. We also briefly address the findings in some of the commoner malformations of the fetal skeleton that may be encountered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our purpose was to review the outcomes of singleton pregnancies in which an absent nasal bone was noted on first- or second-trimester sonography and aneuploidy was not present. METHODS We identified singleton pregnancies from 2005 to 2011 in which an absent nasal bone was noted on sonography, aneuploidy was excluded, and newborn examinations were available for review. Sonographic reports were reviewed for anomalies, growth, and amniotic fluid volume. Newborn records were reviewed for physical examinations, complications, and radiologic or genetic tests. RESULTS We identified 142 fetuses with a sonographic appearance of an absent nasal bone. We excluded 52 cases with aneuploidy and 33 in which newborn examination information was unavailable. Fifty-seven cases met inclusion criteria. For 3 euploid fetuses with an absent nasal bone on sonography, the presence of additional anomalies on second-trimester sonography ultimately signaled an adverse outcome: the presence of multiple congenital anomalies, a microdeletion syndrome, and a specific genetic diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS All cases with adverse outcomes had additional prenatal sonographic findings. For the remainder, normal newborn examination findings provide some reassurance, especially in the setting of otherwise normal second-trimester sonographic findings. A microarray as a test for microdeletion and duplication syndromes in this situation could be considered.

Abstract
Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD), also known as Scheuthauer Marie-Sainton Syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disorder, characterized by general retardation in bone ossification, hypoplastic clavicles and various craniofacial and dental abnormalities. Early diagnosis of CCD can be difficult, because the majority of craniofacial abnormalities become obvious only during adolescence. We present a rare case of CCD with neonatal manifestation and would like to promote the awareness of this rare disorder and the importance of early diagnosis.
