Rezumat: Early detection of micrognathia during prenatal care is
crucial to mitigate the associated risks and prevent unforeseen
emergencies requiring invasive procedures, like
tracheostomy. It enables proper planning for delivery in specialized
tertiary care centers staffed with experienced teams
in managing such cases. This proactive approach enhances
clinician readiness, facilitates decision-making regarding
management strategies in advance, and fosters improved
family education and support. The primary goals of this
paper are to provide a comprehensive review of diverse
diagnostic techniques for micrognathia and to suggest a
clear and pragmatic prenatal approach to addressing
this condition. Furthermore, we present relevant ultrasonographic
pictures of fetal micrognathia from our personal
database. Cuvinte cheie: prenatal diagnosis, micrognathia, ultrasound.
