At 35 + 5 weeks the woman was referred for an expert scan at the FMU because of an abnormally-shaped cranium (Fig. 1). 2D and 3D scans were performed showing brachycephaly, hypertelorism, ocular proptosis, and a beaked nose (Fig. 2).

3D reconstruction of the craniofacial skeleton based on the CT scanning performed at 9 weeks of age. (a) Frontal view. Note the wide midline defect and the bulging temporal regions. (b) Left, lateral view. Note the fusion of the coronal suture. (c) Occipital view. Note the fusion of the lambdoid sutures. (d) Top view. Note the wide midline defect. (e) Top view of the internal cranial base and occiput. Note the increased digital markings in the occipital region. Also note the patent synchondroses of the cranial base. (f) Mid-sagittal cut through the skull. Note the flattened cranial base angle (platybasia) secondary to increased intracranial pressure

The 3D CT scan (Figs. 3 and 4) revealed a brachycephalic skull shape (the cephalic index, which describes the relationship between the long and short axis of the cranium was 85, normal values are 75-83) with protrusion of the forehead and flattened occiput.
3D reconstruction of the craniofacial soft-tissues based on the CT scanning performed at 9 weeks of age. (a) Profile view of the head. Note the extreme head shape with decreased length and increased height. Also note the protrusion of the forehead and the depressed nasal bridge. (b) Frontal view of the head. Note the bulging temporal regions and the hypertelorism
