Sonography provides a definitive diagnosis of embryonic demise when there is no detectable fetal heart motion with real-time imaging.
An impending embryonic demise is associated with embryonic bradycardia and an irregular gestational sac size.
¡ Moreover, it is important to evaluate the appearance of the yolk sac, as a yolk sac that is echogenic, abnormally shaped, or calcified carries an increased risk for ensuing embryonic demise.
