Radiological abnormalities in children born as a result of assisted conception

Australas Radiol. 1995 Aug;39(3):237-42. doi: 10.1111/j.1440-1673.1995.tb00283.x.

Abstract

Over 15,000 children are born each year as a result of the various techniques of assisted conception. In 1991, there were 2083 live births in Australia and New Zealand as a result of these techniques. Radiological abnormalities relating to the increased rate of prematurity, a probable increase in the risk of congenital malformations and a number of cases of neural crest tumours seen in these infants will be presented.
