(New) antenatal ultrasound signs of fetal junctional epidermolysis bullosa: A case report and systematic review of literature

We describe a marked perioral hipoecogenicity as a novel sign of skin-mucous denudation, which could be helpful for future diagnosis. A review of literature, focused specifically on the antenatal sonography role, is also reported. Prenatal ultrasound-based diagnosis of epidermolysis bullosa is difficult, especially in apparently low risk contexts, but may be possible.PMID:37717401 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2023.08.379
