Antenatal-onset infantile cortical hyperostosis and nonimmune hydrops

J Perinatol. 1996 Mar-Apr;16(2 Pt 1):137-9.

Abstract

Infantile cortical hyperostosis antenatal onset is an uncommon disease characterized by polyhydramnios, anasarca or hydrops, pulmonary hypoplasia, hepatomegaly, bowed hyperostotic long bones, and a poor prognosis. Sonographically the intrauterine manifestations may be similar to those of osteogenesis imperfecta, type II.
