Of 762 fetuses evaluated by US, 48 (6.3%) were found to have an ICEF.

Conclusion The prevalence of ICEF was 6.3%. Of 31 fetuses with an isolated ICEF, outcomes of 28 fetuses are known and all neonates were reported to be normal at birth. Thus we infer that the presence of an isolated ICEF has no adverse effect on outcome of the neonate. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2010
