Abstract
-
Intrauterine fetal fracture is rare and hardly ever is a diagnosis made before the baby is born. A 32-years-old, woman at 37(+6) weeks gestation was admitted in labor. The patient had no history of abdominal trauma and disease. The length of fetal femur was shorter than average in antenatal care. Fetus was delivered by Cesarean delivery. He was diagnosed intrauterine femur fracture by radiologic evaluation. We therefore are reporting the prenatal diagnosis of an intrauterine fetal fracture of the femur in this case.
