Amniography in prenatal diagnosis

D Balsam and RR Weiss

The increasing use of prenatal diagnostic methods, including sonography and amniotic fluid analysis, has made it possible to suspect certain fetal defects at an early gestational age. In selected cases, accurate diagnosis of the specific malformation may have an effect on fetal and neonatal prognosis, and on prenatal counseling of the parents. As part of a large regional screening program for neural tube defects, we performed 28 midtrimester amniograms. We found 14 neural tube defects (nine spina bifida, four anencephaly, one Meckel syndrome), four abdominal wall defects, two tumors, and eight normal examinations. Radiographic examples of these malformations are presented, including previously undescribed findings in meningomyeloceles. The place of amniography in prenatal diagnosis is discussed.
