What does it mean if the fetal spine appears as two in a four-dimensional color ultrasound?

Patient's question:

Alright, I had a 4D ultrasound. There were echo strips of the fetal spine arranged in two parallel, beaded chains. The arrangement was neat. At the sacral region, they converged towards each other and curved backward. What does this mean? Is it fetal malformation?

Doctor's answer:

This describes the morphology of the fetal spine. The careful examination results are normal, so you shouldn't worry too much. If they are not normal, the doctor will inform you. Wishing you a smooth pregnancy. For severe patients undergoing 4D ultrasound, it is recommended to immediately visit a regular hospital for examination and treatment according to the doctor's advice. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or drugs for treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. During this period, pay attention to your diet and ensure adequate sleep.
