Dear Tigerfanlsu@cs.com

To continue or discontinue fetal life in case of significant malformation is a matter of the right to choose. Ultrasound is concerned with searching for fetal malformation, so that 1) if significant malformation is present, the patient has a choice to discontinue the pregnancy, or 2) if malformation is present and continuation of pregnancy is desired, careful management antenataly and neonataly can yield better prognosis. There are many other considerations which I left out of this oversimplified outlook.

Yours,

I have a child that was born with cloverleaf and was discovered at 32 weeks gestation via ultrasound. Even at 21 weeks if discovered I would never had aborted.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
