Resumo

Achondroplasia is a hereditary, congenital, skeletal dystrophy and, possibly, a generalized disorder of connective tissue limited to bone. Its intrauterine roentgenographic manifestations in both a normal and an achondroplastic mother are presented. Deuel's “halo” sign which indicated impending fetal death that occurred shortly after parturition, was observed in one case.
