Congenital syphilis diagnosed in utero

Department of Radiodiagnosis, Groote Schuur Hospital, Observatory 7925, Cape Town, South Africa

This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

Obstetrical radiography that uses a prone oblique film, compression band and high mAs technique (Russell, 1973) is simple, effective and has negligible radiation hazards. Using this technique, we have diagnosed intra-uterine osteogenesis imperfecta, fibrous dysplasia and various forms of lethal dwarfism (Cremin and Beighton, 1974). Recently a case of fetal rickets (Russell and Hill, 1974) was reported.

This communication concerns a case of fetal syphilis and its progression in utero. We are unaware of any previous report on this subject in recent radiological literature.
