Overview
Antenatal ultrasound in congenital syphilis demonstrates features such as hepatosplenomegaly, placentomegaly and hydops. Doppler studies shows an increase in the mean systolic and diastolic ratio.
Ultrasound
Antenatal sonographic features include:[1][2]
- Fetal hepatosplenomegaly
- Placentomegaly
- Fetal ascites
In severe cases findings include:
- Fetal hydrops
- Bent fetal long bones
Doppler Studies
Doppler ultrasound of the uterine and umbilical arteries show increase in the mean systolic to diastolic ratios in mothers infected with syphilis indicating an increased resistance to perfusion of the placenta secondary to vasculitis, placental villitis and obliterative arteritis caused by syphilis.[3]
