. A retrospective analysis of the ultrasonic growth patterns of two 13‐15 trisomies, two 18‐trisomies and eight 21‐trisomies is presented. The patterns were examined by serial cephalometry, abdominometry and head‐to‐abdomen circumference measurements. Early and symmetric growth retardation was revealed by ultrasonography and later confirmed by postnatal pediatric examinations in the 13‐15 trisomies and 18‐trisomies. In the 21‐trisomies, fetal growth was normal.
