First Trimester Ultrasound Diagnosis of Lethal Multiple Pterygium Syndrome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Diagnosis of lethal multiple pterygium syndrome in the first trimester of pregnancy. METHODS: A 38-year-old woman attended our ultrasound (US) clinic at 11.2 weeks gestation. She has had two previous stillbirths affected by lethal multiple pterygium syndrome. Transabdominal and transvaginal US were performed and identified a recurrence. Autopsy findings are compared to the fetal US findings. RESULTS: Fetal US showed a markedly increased nuchal translucency, fixed flexion deformities of the elbows and knees bilaterally, cutaneous webs across both elbow joints and absent fetal movements. The patient decided to terminate the pregnancy and a D&C was performed. Pathology of intact fetal parts showed flexion deformity of the right elbow with a cutaneous web, and ulnar deviation of the right wrist. CONCLUSION: Increased nuchal translucency, absent limb movements, multiple joint contractures and cutaneous webs on US allowed the diagnosis of lethal multiple pterygium syndromes in the first trimester of pregnancy.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
