Re: microcephaly-14th May 99 From: DuBose, Terry (DuboseTerryJ@exchange.uams.edu) Fri May 14 09:09:37 1999 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Joseph Allen Worrall Jr. MD RDMS: "Informed Consent for prenatal ultrasound" Previous message: art fougner, md: "Re: microcephaly-14th May 99" Maybe in reply to: DR.JOE ANTONY: "microcephaly-14th May 99" Dr. Antony, et al. I agree with Dr. Fougner, molding can ocure before labor. Most molding starts around 32-34 weeks and increases progressively. The tendency appears to me to be (this is from experiential observations and not a controled study) torward dolichocephalic with breech fetuses and brachycephalic with vertex presentations. Dr. Antony, because of your discussion, my gut tells me this is a true microcephalic... as Dr. Smeltzer might say "I close my eyes and see a microcephalic." Did you happen to get any coronal views of the head? If you did, I would be interested in collaborating with you to present the case on the Ultrasound section of OBGYN.net. If you have some good images of the coronal and transverse head, the femur (& humorous), abdominal and perhaps any other good images, would you be willing to present this? I would particularly be interested in looking at the 3D head measurements.... I can obtain them if you have the coronal and the standard transverse head circumference. I look forward to your response. Thanks. Peace, Terry J.

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.
