J Pediatr. 1977 Sep;91(3):464-6. doi: 10.1016/s0022-3476(77)81326-7.

Abstract

Severe rhizomelic and mesomelic dwarfism was demonstrated in a 20-week gestation fetus by amniography. A systematic progressive approach to prenatal diagnosis in the absence of a definitive diagnosis and the use of contrast radiography is discussed.
