• Monitoring of normal pregnancy was
  based on both clinical and ultrasound.
• The latter is of particular
  importance since the advent of new machines and
  technical progress since ultrasound can detect
  morphological abnormalities that may fall in the
  context of lethal malformations indicating the
  interruption of pregnancy and even at a very
  early term.During the study period, were
  detected six cases of short femur in the practice
  of ultrasound two in the second quarter (15 SA
  22 SA) and four in the third quarter near
  term.The discovery of short femurs need for a
  comprehensive morphological study to identify
  other malformations.
• In fact, the morphological study has
  detected other malformations mainly members
  (short humerus, radial agenesis, clubfeet) and
  the brain (agenesis of the corpus callosum,
  holoprosencephaly).In the first case of short
  femur naked amniocentesis was performed which
  revealed trisomy 18 and the penalty was
  therapeutic medical termination of pregnancy as
  well in the second case diagnosed at 22 SA given
  the importance of birth related (morphological
  ultrasound).On four other cases of short femur
  and the diagnosis was eventually el route of
  delivery was vaginal.

DISCUSSION
INTRODUCTION
Pregnancy is an important event which support
must be methodical. The monitoring of the
pregnancy is both clinical and para clinical.
Ultrasound has largely contributed to the
detection of morphological abnormalities within
the scope of malformation syndromes poly
incompatible with a normal life.The short femurs
are one of the ultrasound appearances that may be
associated with malformations vital.
To describe the sonographic appearances of
short femur and associated anomalies and to
clarify the management that follows.
PURPOSE



This is a
retrospective study of six cases of short femurs
collected at the service of Obstetrics and
Gynecology of Monastir in 2009 In the first
case of short femur naked amniocentesis was
performed which revealed trisomy 18 and the
penalty was therapeutic medical termination of
pregnancy as well in the second case diagnosed at
22 SA given the importance of birth related
(morphological ultrasound).On four other cases
of short femur and the diagnosis was eventually
el route of delivery was vaginal. .
