Prenatal detection of interstitial 18p11.31-p11.22 microduplications: Phenotypic diversity and literature review.

abstract：:Congenital megalourethra is a rare disorder. We present an early case diagnosed in the first trimester. Prenatal ultrasound showed a megalourethra with a normal fetal bladder, hyperechogenic cystic right kidney and single umbilical artery. After termination of pregnancy, necropsy confirmed all sonographic findings and...
