Utility of Measuring Fetal Cavum Septum Pellucidum (CSP) Width During Routine Obstetrical Ultrasound for Improving Diagnosis of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome: A Case-Control Study.

Fetuses with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome have dilated CSPs when compared to those with isolated conotruncal anomalies or controls. Because CSP dilation can be evaluated during routine mid-pregnancy ultrasound using standard images of the fetal head, measurement could easily be incorporated to enhance prenatal diagnosis of this phenotypically diverse condition.
