Re: Re: illnesses/defects related to CF-

Nothing inparticular. My husband & I are thinking of having another baby and I

just want to be more aware of related issues as the risk is greater. We were

really lucky with our son, his unilateral CF is mild in comparison to others and

his treatment has been relatively easy. I am fearfull of what can be to come

(although not in control of, i know). I just want to have a bit more knowledge

with relation to other issues... possibly to look for (have dr.'s- look for) in

ultrasound & so forth.

Thank you for the info.

I don't know of one site that lists clubfoot and it's related

defects probably because clubfoot is usually the " afterthought "

physical issue, not the main problem.

Here's a quote from the Korean Radiology Journal off that google

site:

Clubfoot

Where prenatal ultrasonography indicates that the lower leg bones

and sole of the foot are not perpendicular, clubfoot is diagnosed.

The foot may be oriented in the same plane as the lower leg, or

parallel to and alongside it (Fig. 8). Laterally, the lower leg and

the hind part of the foot may form a round-shaped continuum.

Clubfoot may occur in isolation or in association with numerous

other conditions, including general musculoskeletal disorders,

arthrogryposis and genetic syndromes, and CNS and karyotype

abnormalities. In 10 14% of cases it is associated with other

structural malformations, and in 6 22% of cases, there is also

significant risk of karyotype abnormality (3).

Is there something specific you're looking for?
