Before starting to talk about actual Dysmorphology (Fetal Anomalies) we will perform comprehensive review of ultrasound findings of uncertain significance.

Those minor dysmorphological features are well known as SOFT MARKERS. Other suggested terms for US findings of uncertain significance include “chromosomal or genetic markers” or “anatomical variants”.

SOFT MARKERS are anatomically and sonographically very variable, however all of them have very similar characteristic features.

The Soft markers are:

• Common
• Subjective
• Easy visible
• Have uncertain significance
• Suggesting fetus to have abnormality
• Scare doctors/sonographers
• Terrifying patients
• May be dangerous for fetuses

In TWO separate seminars we will review majority of suggested soft markers and their clinical significance in the era of NIPT.

As usual in our courses we will answer two questions:

HOW to detect and WHAT to do after.

The suggested list of the Soft Markers for Part 2 includes:

• • Absent or hypoplastic nasal bone (NB)
  • Ductus venosus (DV)
  • Tricuspid regurgitation (TR)
  • Hepatic artery
  • Frontomaxillary facial angle (FMF angle)
  • Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA)
  • Prenasal thickness
  • Persistent right umbilical vein (PRUV)
  • Macroglossia
  • 5th digit hypoplasia and clinodactyly
  • Sandal gap
  • Rocker bottom feet
  • Simian crease
  • Cavum septum pellucidum (CSP)
  •  Thymus

• Answers to questions session at the end of the seminar.
