TL;DR: The use of multiple diagnostic tests was necessary to improve accuracy in the diagnosis of fetal microcephaly and delineate more clearly optimal tests and thresholds of abnormality.

Echocardiographic Studies of the Human Fetus: Prenatal Diagnosis of Congenital Heart Disease and Cardiac Dysrhythmias
TL;DR: During obstetrical ultrasound examinations, 200 M-mode and 35 real-time two-dimensional echocardiographic studies were performed on 180 fetuses of high-risk pregnancies, and Paradoxic septal motion in 50 fetuses suggested relarive right ventricular volume loading.

Mild fetal lateral cerebral ventriculomegaly: clinical course and outcome.
TL;DR: Fetuses with mild ventriculomegaly have a lower incidence of associated anomalies and a better outcome than fetuses with more severe ventricular dilatation, as reported in the literature.

Congenital heart disease and extracardiac anomalies: Associations and indications for fetal echocardiography
TL;DR: Maternal diabetes and phenylketonuria, as well as exposure to phenytoin, trimethadione, or isotretinoin, may result in multiple systemic defects, including congenital heart disease, which may have important implications for obstetric and neonatal management.

When is termination of pregnancy during the third trimester morally justifiable
TL;DR: Ten cases involving fetuses with sonographically diagnosed anencephaly that were aborted during the third trimester are studied and other fetal disorders are examined and conclude that they do not clearly fulfill the two conditions for the justifiable termination of pregnancy in the fourth trimester.

Ultrasound in the diagnosis of congenital anomalies
TL;DR: Based on ultrasonically derived information, second- Trimester patients can be offered information concerning the status of their fetuses at risk genetically and physicians can better manage third-trimester patients with diagnosed fetal deformities.

Congenital malformations : a report of a study of series of consecutive births in 24 centres
TL;DR: A report is presented of a study of births in 24 centers in 16 countries with respect to the occurrence and type of ciongenital malformations found in still born and liveborn infants, where there is a marked association between consanquinity of parents with increases stillbirth rates and frequency of early death of an infant.

Etiologic heterogeneity of neural-tube defects.
TL;DR: Twelve per cent of stillborn and live-born infants with anencephaly had nongenetic disorders, a chromosome abnormality, or an encephalocele as part of the autosomal recessive Meckel syndrome; therefore, for this 12 per cent genetic counseling normally provided for isolated anencesphaly, meningomyelocele or encePHalocele would have been incorrect.
