The prenatal diagnosis of this syndrome is suspected when two-dimensional ultrasound (2DUS) scan shows several malformations.. The three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) in rendering mode permits the spatial visualization of these malformations, allowing better understanding of this anomaly by parents. We report a case of a fetus in the second trimester with multiple abnormalities suggestive of LMP that were identified using 2DUS, and emphasize the importance of 3DUS in counseling the parents. }, volume = 2, pages = {65}, issn = {2156-7514}, issn = {2156-5597}, url = {https://doi.org/10.4103/2156-7514.103055}, doi = {10.4103/2156-7514.103055} }
