Conclusion:
HI is a severe lethal disorder yet preventable with proper antenatal
checkup. In low-middle income countries like Bangladesh, it is highly
important to focus on routine Antenatal follow-up for at least four
times. Although DNA analysis for ABC12 mutation will help to diagnose
the case in prenatal period, this might be tough in developing nations.
Alternative approach is via USG during second trimester, but in our case
a single USG couldn’t catch the anomaly hence, repeated USG is highly
advisable.
