COMPARATIVE STUDY TO CORRELATE AUTOPSY AND ULTRASONOGRAPHY FINDINGS IN THE FETUS WITH CONGENITAL ANOMALIES BY CONTRASTING FINDINGS

Abstract

Background: Pregnant women can get ultrasounds without putting the mother or foetus at danger. As a scientific examination of the anatomy, ultrasonography evaluates the characteristics of every system and every organ that is connected to it.

Aim: The current study's goals were to identify any discrepancies between the autopsy and ultrasound results in the foetus with congenital defects, as well as to compare and correlate the data.

Methods: Assessments were made for imperforate anal defects, limb abnormalities, club foot, diaphragmatic hernia, cleft lip, cleft palate, and omphalocele, among other gastrointestinal anomalies, in all of the foetuses that were included.

Results: Based on a comparison of autopsy and ultrasound data, the foetus was classified into four groups. The current study suggests that dietary practices and socioeconomic position have a significant impact on autopsy and ultrasonography.

Conclusion: Early detection of congenital deformities and parent awareness can aid in the prompt MTP (Medical Termination of Pregnancy) and prevention of these deformities in future pregnancies.
