Overview[edit | edit source]

Antenatal ultrasound in congenital syphilis demonstrates features such as hepatosplenomegaly, placentomegaly and hydrops. Doppler studies shows an increase in the mean systolic and diastolic ratio.

Ultrasound[edit | edit source]

Antenatal sonographic features include:^[1]^[2]

Fetal hepatosplenomegaly
Placentomegaly
Fetal ascites

In severe cases findings include:

Fetal hydrops
Bent fetal long bones

Doppler Studies[edit | edit source]

Doppler ultrasound of the uterine and umbilical arteries show increase in the mean systolic to diastolic ratios in mothers infected with syphilis indicating an increased resistance to perfusion of the placenta secondary to vasculitis, placental villitis and obliterative arteritis caused by syphilis.^[3]
