A crown-rump length (CRL) and nuchal translucency measurement could not be obtained due to the cystic hygroma and vertebral deformity. A transvaginal scan using 5 to 9 MHz transvaginal probe of the same sonographic system revealed severe lumbosacral scoliosis and a midline supraumbilical abdominal wall defect including herniated liver and ectopia cordis with a large omphalocele containing the intestines (Figure 1).
