Showing contexts for: echogenic focus in Libina Manzoor vs Union Of India on 15 September, 2020Matching Fragments
Maternal risk will be more at this stage of termination and future fertility may be affected.
USG done from General Hospital Ernakulam, on 14.09.2020, no abnormalities detected except for echogenic intra cardiac focus in left ventricle. Echogenic focus can be normally seen WP(C).No.18610 OF 2020 in 1-5% of fetus. So it alone is not a significant marker for congenital anomaly.
Hence medical board constituted on 14.09.2020 for this case is not favouring immediate termination with the present available documents. However amniocentesis and fetal echo cardiogram may be done to rule out the remote possibilities of lethal anomalies. Both these investigation are not available at GH Ernakulam."
