... Presentation: This was a retrospective study of 13 cases with CHARGE syndrome diagnosed by prenatal or postnatal genetic testing and physical examination. Two (15.4%; 2/13) had normal ultrasound scans during pregnancy. One (7.7%; 1/13) with first-trimester cystic hygroma presented intrauterine fetal demise...

... length (CCL) and cerebellar vermian height (CVH) measurements between fetal growth restriction (FGR) and control fetuses and to correlate them with cerebral Doppler velocimetry in growth-restricted fetuses. Methods: This was a prospective cohort of FGR after 20 weeks of gestation with ultrasound...

..., investigators were asked to render their degree of confidence in the diagnosis of fetal AS. The prenatal diagnosis was compared to the postnatal diagnosis obtained through neonatal neuroimaging. Performance characteristics of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were calculated, as was the mean...

... in the frontal region (cephalocele) with a cystic formation (arrows) protruding through the defect. Recognition of small cranial meningoceles by antenatal ultrasound may be challenging. In addition, basal cephaloceles protruding through the base of skull are inaccessible to antenatal sonography...

... that was diagnosed using prenatal ultrasound. Ultrasound revealed the presence of megalencephaly, multiple cerebellar gyri, and hydrocephalus. Whole-exome sequencing confirmed the mutation of the AKT3 gene, which led to the consideration of MPPH syndrome. Moreover, an echogenic band with an irregular surface...

.../AC ratio, thoracic circumference-to-abdominal circumference (TC/AC) ratio, foot length-to-abdominal circumference ratio, and foot length-to-femur length ratio were calculated. Sonographic results were obtained from the most recent ultrasound exam performed within 2 weeks prior to delivery. Fetal...

... to the development of growth retardation in terms of SGA. For this retrospective study, we extracted all data from the database of the University Hospital Münster, Department for Gynecology and Obstetrics (ViewPoint ® , General Electric Healthcare, Fairfield, CT, USA). The ultrasound examinations were...

..., and a postnatal MRI confirmed the unusual constellation of Sprengel’s anomaly with lateral meningocele, vestigial posterior meningocele, and lipoma tethering of the cord to the dural sac at the cervical-thoracic junction. Conclusion: Diagnosis of Sprengel’s deformity is possible with prenatal ultrasound...

... (AWDs) interfere with postnatal respiratory parameters. We aimed to evaluate lung volume (LV) in fetuses with AWD using three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) and to correlate AWD with the type (omphalocele and gastroschisis) and size of the defect and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Methods...

... Ultrasound Mini‐Summary What does this study add to current knowledge? When ART pregnancies were compared with spontaneous conception according to oocyte origin, those conceived with donated oocytes showed a significantly lower estimated fetal weight (EFW) z-velocity from the second...

...: The O/E LHR is a good predictor of perinatal death in fetuses with left isolated CDH. Approximately 80% of fetuses at risk of perinatal death can be identified with an O/E LHR ≤35%, and 90% of them will have similar O/E LHR values at the first and at the last ultrasound examinations prior to delivery...

... and 4,500 controls and retrospectively analyzed by two ultrasonographers with over 5 years of experience in prenatal ultrasound screening. In case of disagreement, the decision was made jointly with another ultrasound physician who had been qualified in prenatal ultrasound screening for over 10 years...

...Maria-Elisabeth Smet; Rachel Bethe; Alexandra Papworth; Andrew McLennan; Fergus Scott Early identification of fetal sex is possible due to both improved ultrasound resolution and the incorporation of cell-free DNA testing into routine prenatal screening services. While ultrasound assessment...

... the study period, 7 families of KS were diagnosed. Variants of KMT2D were detected in 4 cases, and variants of KDM6A in 3 cases. For cases with KMT2D variants, cleft palate was the only finding on second-trimester ultrasound in 2 cases. One case presented with polyhydramnios in late third trimester. One...

... outcome, placental characteristics, and ultrasound features between the two groups. Results: We included 40 sFGR placentas, 13 were classified as Type II and 27 as Type III. Maternal age was higher in Type II. Small Type II twins had lower birth weights (BWs) for gestational age and BW discordance...

... with gestational diabetes (GD), in order to determine whether minimal anomalies of glucose metabolism may influence fetal placental function. Methods: UA and MCA flows were prospectively measured by transabdominal ultrasound in singleton pregnancies between 34 and 37 weeks of gestation. Results: The study included...

..., fetus scalp blood sampling, ultrasound imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray computed tomography, and nuclear medicine. In addition, given the limitations and shortcomings of traditional diagnostic methods, emerging technologies such as near-infrared spectroscopy and photoacoustic imaging have also...
