Abstract

The ability of ultrasound to diagnose fetal anomalies is limited in the early stages of gestation. We describe a microendoscope that can be used with an 18-gauge needle at the time of amniocentesis to provide more precise diagnostic information when the first-trimester ultrasound examination suggests a problem.
