    • Abstract:
      The article presents a study which analyzes the prevalence of the malformations of the umbilical vein (UV) in fetuses with Down syndrome. It mentions the use of color Doppler ultrasound to detect and describe the anomalies in the fetuses examined at the Chaim Sheba Medical Center in Israel from January 2006 to December 2007. Results show that fetuses with down syndrome frequently have abnormalities in the umbilicoportal venous system.
