- Abstract
ABSTRACT Retrospective examination of ultrasound images obtained at 12 weeks of gestation in two fetuses with spina bifida demonstrated retraction of the frontal bones, resulting in an acorn-shaped head, the cerebral peduncles appearing parallel to each other. These craniocerebral signs may improve the accuracy of first-trimester diagnosis of spina bifida by sonography.
