Abstract

Cleidocranial dysplasia is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterized by clavicular hypoplasia, delayed closure of fontanels, dental abnormalities, and other skeletal anomalies. This case report presents the prenatal detection of cleidocranial dysplasia by exploring a subtle abnormality during routine prenatal ultrasound examination, subsequent genetic confirmation, and postabortal X-ray analysis. The aim is to emphasize the importance of taking into account any apparently insignificant ultrasound finding to diagnose a fetal genetic abnormality.

Keywords
