An etiological diagnosis that had not been suspected at ultrasound was specified in 15% of cases and diagnoses suspected at ultrasound were confirmed in 24% and discounted in 43% of cases. The prevalence of skeletal dysplasia was increased in cases of micromelia &lt; 3<jats:sup>rd<\/jats:sup> percentile or if there was a combination of bone signs.
