CORRELATION OF AUTOPSY AND SONOGRAPHY FINDINGS IN FETAL ANOMALIES

Abstract

Background: There is no risk to the mother or foetus when a pregnant woman has ultrasound testing. 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.
