Congenital cataract in triplet pregnancy after ivf with frozen embryos: prenatal diagnosis and management

Fetal Diagn Ther. 2001 Jul-Aug;16(4):234-6. doi: 10.1159/000053917.

Abstract

Unilateral congenital cataract was diagnosed at the 2nd trimester ultrasonography in a triplet pregnancy following in vitro fertilization (with frozen embryos). Congenital cataract could be hereditary or related to metabolic and infectious disorders. To our knowledge this is the first antenatal diagnosis of the disorder in triplets after IVF with frozen embryos.
