[Ultrasound diagnosis of fetal tooth anlagen and their histologic correlates].

AIM: The present study was to examine the radiographic and histologic correlation of the respective ultrasonographic findings. METHODS: Histologic examinations were performed in 12 fetuses who had died in utero between 16 and 34 weeks of gestation. The fetuses had been examined by intrauterine sonography for tooth germs and had been subjected to additional radiographic examinations post abortum or partum. During autopsy, the tooth germs were again examined sonographically and radiographically, and non-decalcified histological sections were obtained by means of the sawing and grinding technique. RESULTS: The results obtained by histologically examining the 12 fetal jaws in the ultrasonic plane corresponded in all cases to those examined by sonography and radiology. CONCLUSION: Sonographic proof of tooth germs might gain increasing importance in future because agenesia of tooth germs is one of the principal signs of a variety of hereditary syndromes, particularly those of ectodermal origin.

Ectodermal Dysplasia

Aplasia cutis congenita and associated disorders: an update.

We present an update of disorders in which aplasia cutis congenita is a feature. Localization of the lesion, important other features, and possible etiology are tabulated. Disorders are classified as chromosomal, monogenic, teratological/exogenous, and unknown. Points of particular interest in history taking and examination of patients with aplasia cutis congenita are presented.

Ectodermal Dysplasia

Extensive symmetric truncal aplasia cutis congenita without fetus papyraceus or macroscopic evidence of placental abnormalities.

Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare disorder characterized by localized absence of skin at birth. Type V in Frieden's classification, which is associated with fetus papyraceous or placental infarcts, occurs as a large cutaneous defect on the trunk and extremities. The patient we report had a lesion affecting the trunk and extremities symmetrically, with no family history of the disorder or chromosomal abnormalities. In our opinion, despite the absence of fetus papyraceous or placental infarct, this patient's condition can be classified as type V.
