Unilateral agenesis of the diaphragm with bilateral renal agenesis is an extremely rare lethal developmental anomaly. A detailed evaluation of fetal organs during nuchal translucency scan is required to diagnose this type of developmental anomaly. Detecting lethal developmental abnormality at an early gestational period (11–14 weeks) will be invaluable in facilitating the decision to terminate the pregnancy. Termination in the first trimester reduces psychological stress to the parents. We present a rare case of combined developmental anomaly which has never been reported in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
