Abstract

Abstract: We herein present a case of fetal multiple hemivertebrae detected at antenatal sonography. The use of the 3 D technology supported by a new contrast enhancement rendering algorithm (Crystal Vue) has allowed the accurate prenatal classification of the defect, confirmed at follow up, that would have been difficult to define by 2 D only.
