Overview
Ultrasound only plays a role as part of the routine prenatal screening. In cases of congenital syphilis that were not detected on laboratory tests, antenatal sonogram may demonstrate non-specific findings such as placentomegaly, fetal hepatosplenomegaly, bent long bones, and fetal ascites.
Ultrasound
Antenatal sonographic features are often non-specific and mimic those of the generalized in utero infection. Such features include:[1][2]
- Fetal hepatosplenomegaly
- Placentomegaly
- Fetal ascites
In severe cases there may be evidence of:
- Fetal hydrops
- Bent fetal long bones
