Bilateral clubfoot in 25 weeks fetus
Hi Doctors.
I have attached scan images from 20 weeks and 25 weeks gestation.
The one showing fetal feet in normal position is the 20 weeks anomaly scan image. No negative findings and both feet were reported to be normal.
Later in the 25 weeks scan both feet are seen in inward twisted position.
Would it be normal post birth? Is this commonly seen in newborn babies?

After birth..make sure Baby is taken to an ortho doctor(must) for screening of deformities..if deformity present..can be treated very well with serial corrective plaster applications.

1 in 1000 live births has a chance to born with club foot. Nothing to worry. It can be assessed after delivery and treated with either passive manipulation or by pop, based on the clinical finding.

Nothing to worry, may be it is a flexible type of club foot, it can be corrected 100% using plaster after birth
