A Case of Down Syndrome Diagnosed by Cordocentesis
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Down syndrome is by far the most common and best known of the chromosome dise-ders. Down syndrome can usually be diagnosed at birth or shortly thereafter by its phei otypic features. Recently direct access to fetal blood during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy opens new fields of prenatal diagnosis and in utero fetal treat-men´. Cordocentesis (percutaneous umbilical blood sampling), a method that involves ultrasonographically guided needle insertion into the umbilical vein, appeares to have an acceptable clinical trial.
A case of Down syndrome diagnosed by cordcentesis is presented with brief review of literature.
