A 3D ultrasound may better depict scapular anomalies, the fetal face, and chest hypoplasia than a 2D ultrasound. Intubation may be performed for aggressive management. The central osseous tongue was formed by enchondral ossification, and the peripheral lateral and medial osseous spurs were performed by perichondral ossification. In epiphyseal cartilage tissue, a reduced lobulation of the cell surfaces was observed. The transformation of osteoblasts to osteocytes was marked by a significant reduction of cell diameter and incomplete calcification of osteocytes.
Inpatient care is necessary.
If aggressive treatment is deferred, then palliative treatment is indicated. Transfer may be required in cases of prolonged survival, and home care is not possible. Prognosis generally is lethal in the first few days of life. Respiratory insufficiency is the cause of death. If a woman carrying an affected fetus is past the period when a therapeutic abortion can take place, then discuss aggressive and nonaggressive management frankly.
