This case report aimed to describe the sonographic features of congenital varicella syndrome following maternal varicella. Well-documented maternal chicken pox was made at 12 weeks of gestation and prenatal ultrasound was performed at 16 weeks. Striking sonographic features included hydropic changes and disseminated calcifications in multiple organs, especially liver and myocardium. Elective termination of pregnancy was done at 17 weeks. The presence of disseminated calcifications could suggest the diagnosis of congenital varicella syndrome. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 2018-09-04T06:11:47Z 2018-09-04T06:11:47Z 2012-03-01 Journal 10970096 00912751 2-s2.0-84858006461 10.1002/jcu.21891 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=84858006461&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/51924
