To describe the prenatal imaging findings in fetuses at risk for Joubert syndrome (JS), review the literature and propose a protocol for prenatal diagnosis of JS using ultrasound and MRI.
We reviewed prenatal ultrasound and fetal MRI studies in two pregnancies at 25% recurrence risk for JS and correlated these findings with gross neuropathology in one affected fetus.
While abnormalities such as occipital encephalocele or enlarged cisterna magna have been identified before mid-trimester, the definitive diagnosis of JS, based on core cerebellar findings, has only been possible after 17 weeks' gestation.
With longitudinal monitoring, it is possible to diagnose JS in at-risk pregnancies before 24 weeks' gestation. On the basis of our data and review of the literature, we propose a protocol for monitoring pregnancies at risk for JS, utilizing serial ultrasounds combined with fetal MRI at 20-22 weeks' gestation to maximize the accuracy of prenatal diagnosis.
描述患有Joubert综合征(JS)风险胎儿的产前影像学表现,回顾相关文献并提出使用超声和磁共振成像(MRI)对JS进行产前诊断的方案。
我们回顾了两个有25% JS复发风险的妊娠中的产前超声和胎儿MRI研究,并将这些发现与一名受影响胎儿的大体神经病理学结果进行了关联。
虽然在孕中期之前已发现枕部脑膨出或大池扩大等异常,但基于核心小脑表现的JS明确诊断仅在妊娠17周后才有可能。
通过纵向监测,有可能在妊娠24周前对有风险的妊娠进行JS诊断。根据我们的数据和文献回顾,我们提出了一个对有JS风险的妊娠进行监测的方案,在妊娠20 - 22周时利用系列超声联合胎儿MRI,以最大限度提高产前诊断的准确性。
