Abstract
What's already known about this topic?
Rare heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders.
Associated with severe, often fatal phenotypes – Prenatal parental counselling and ‘high risk screening’ important
Prenatal diagnosis primarily reliant upon ultrasound detection
What does this study add?
Introduces a novel, lethal fetal form of cap myopathy.
Evaluates range of ultrasound features and how detection can be facilitated
Reconfirms fetal-onset CM represents important, complex diagnostic challenge
