RESUMEN

We report a case of vitelline vein aneurysm detected at 23 weeks of gestation. Few postnatal cases of vitelline vein aneurysm have been reported; however, due to their similar appearances most of them were considered initially as umbilical vein dilatations. The accurate prenatal diagnosis of vitelline vein aneurysm and early postnatal surgical treatment are crucial steps to prevent postnatal obliterative extension of thrombosis that might cause severe neonatal morbidity.

RESUMEN

Periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH) is usually missed on prenatal sonographic examinations, even on targeted scans. Irregular ventricular walls on axial view and irregular square-shaped lateral ventricles on coronal view are suggestive of PNH in the early third trimester. To achieve an early prenatal diagnosis, it is important to keep in mind the possible coexistence of PNH with brain malformations such as ventriculomegaly, posterior fossa anomalies, or agenesis of corpus callosum. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effects of delayed and early clamping of the cord on the hematologic status of the baby at birth and at the end of second month. METHODS: Umbilical cord of 74 babies were clamped in the first 30 s (Group 1) and 76 were clamped at 90-120 s (Group 2). Levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, iron and ferritin were analyzed from the umbilical cord blood at birth and from the venous samples at the end of second month. RESULTS: Hemoglobin, hematocrit, iron and ferritin levels of cord blood were similar in both groups. However, their levels other than ferritin were higher in Group 2 at the end of second month. Two babies had respiratory distress and twelve neonates received phototherapy in Group 2 whereas only five neonates received phototherapy in Group 1. CONCLUSION: Term babies to whom delayed cord clamping was performed had improved hematological parameters at the end of second month. Therefore, delaying cord clamping in these babies may be a favorible approach in preventing anemia.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Our aim was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ultrasonography (US) in the prenatal identification of teratomas and the perinatal outcome of the fetuses with those teratomas. METHODS: In this retrospective case series study, we searched the archives using the keywords "fetal mass" or "fetal tumor" or "fetal teratoma" and "sacrococcygeal teratoma," diagnosed between 2009 and 2014, within the US database of our center. RESULTS: One hundred seven fetuses were prenatally diagnosed as having a cystic or solid mass, tumor, or teratoma. Nineteen of those cases were diagnosed prenatally as having fetal teratoma, but that diagnosis could not be verified in three cases. In one fetus, the prenatal diagnosis could not be confirmed. The sensitivity of US in identifying fetal teratoma was 100% and the false-positive rate, 3.3%. Six pregnancies complicated by a fetal teratoma were terminated. A normal karyotype was identified in all fetuses that underwent karyotyping. Among the nine women who continued their pregnancy, polyhydramnios was identified in four fetuses; although high-output heart failure was also identified in two of those fetuses during prenatal follow-up, none developed hydrops. On delivery, nine infants were born alive, but three (33.3%) of them died within the early neonatal period. CONCLUSIONS: US has very high sensitivity and low false-positive rates in identifying fetal teratoma prenatally. The risk of chromosomal abnormalities is very low in fetuses with teratoma, and their prognosis depends on the location and size of the tumor and any associated perinatal complications.

RESUMEN

Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is being more often detected due to availability of prenatal ultrasonography. Type IV SCT could be misdiagnosed as cloacal abnormalities due to the pelvic midline cystic mass associated with renal malformations and obstructive uropathy during the pregnancy. We discuss difficulties in the prenatal differential diagnosis of SCT and urogenital sinus in a 26-year-old pregnant woman, admitted to our prenatal diagnosis centre for a detailed US for a pre-sacral mass.

RESUMEN

Neonatal tumors are reported to occur in approximately 17-121 per million live births worldwide. They are often diagnosed by ultrasonography after mid-pregnancy. Teratomas are the most frequent solid neoplasms, accounting for between one-quarter and one-third of cases. Here, we describe the prenatal diagnosis of a fetal face teratoma located on the right temporal side at 26 weeks of gestation. Besides 2D and 4D ultrasound imaging, fetal magnetic resonance imaging provides substantial support in perinatal management and promotes the perception of fetal malformations by the family. Extreme intrauterine growth of the tumor with remarkable pressure to the surrounding facial structures and good perinatal prognosis following complete tumoral resection are reviewed.

RESUMEN

The prenatal diagnosis of congenital diaphragmatic eventration, pulmonary extralobar sequestration and intrathoracic ectopic kidney in a single fetus is not reported yet according to the pubmed. Congenital diaphragmatic eventration is an abnormal elevation of the diaphragm. Differential diagnosis from hernia is essential for the perinatal management. Extralobar sequestrations are usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally. Intrathoracic kidney is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. Genitourinary and cardiac anomalies should be searched as common co-existing malformations. Besides prenatal ultrasound, fetal magnetic resonance imaging has a substantial support in counselling the family, planning the follow-up of the pregnancy and decision-making for the perinatal management.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The management of thoracoomphalopagus twins depends on gestational age and life expectancy of the fetuses. Vaginal route of delivery is limited to small nonviable fetuses. Cesarean section should be reserved for larger fetuses or when the life expectancy of the fetuses is of concern. CASES: The first case was that of heavily malformed fetuses of 28 weeks in preterm labor, delivered vaginally according to their parent's request, but the fusion between fetuses was torn cephalad. The second case was diagnosed and underwent cesarean section at her 29th gestational week, but her babies were lost after birth due to cardiorespiratory arrest. The third case was 34 weeks pregnant and not diagnosed until birth. Presentation of the first fetus was vertex, while the other was breech. Totally 3,700 g twins were delivered by vaginal route without any serious complication. CONCLUSION: Successful vaginal delivery of the third trimester fetuses is possible. The technique of the delivery is important.

RESUMEN

Limb body wall complex is a spectrum of multiple severe anomalies. The etiopathogenesis and clinical classification are still under discussion. In our article, while reviewing previous etiopathogenetical hypothesis, we propose a new clinical classification regarding embryological theories and pheneotypical features. According to the Van Allen diagnostic criteria, the findings of 6 affected fetuses are presented. Prenatal diagnosis was performed in 5 of 6 cases. Craniofacial malformations were present in only 1 case. Thoracic defect and abdominoschisis (either infraumbilical or supraumbilical) associated with visceral eventration, placental-umbilical cord anomalies, and limb defects were detected in the other 5 cases. Aberrant development of each of the 4 embryonic folds (cephalic, 2 lateral abdominal, and caudal) associated with faulty umbilical ring development and placental formation were considered responsible for development of various malformations. In previous clinical classifications, existence or absence of the craniofacial malformation was utilized as an unique discriminating criterion while multiple anomalies exist. In this report, we propose a new clinical classification concerning almost all anomalies caused by defective placental attachment and maldevelopment of the 4 folds.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study is to determine whether the serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level is helpful in the differential diagnosis and in the clinical management and follow-up of preeclampsia, superimposed preeclampsia, and chronic hypertension during the third trimester. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eighty hypertensive pregnant patients, who had been hospitalized, and 25 normotensive pregnant patients, who attended the outpatient perinatology clinic in Zeynep Kamil Women and Pediatric Diseases Education and Research Hospital between June 2001 and September 2001 were enrolled in the study. These patients were evaluated in five groups: mild preeclamptic, severe preeclamptic, superimposed preeclamptic, chronic hypertensive, and normotensive groups. The geometric means of hCG levels of these groups were compared with each other and cutoff levels for differential diagnosis were determined. RESULTS: The geometric mean of hCG levels was established as 17,361.31 mIU/mL in the mild preeclamptic group, 49,817.59 mIU/mL in the severe preeclamptic group, 41,101.09 mIU/mL in the superimposed preeclamptic group, 12,558.57 mIU/mL in the chronic hypertensive group, and 9647.98 mIU/mL in the normotensive group. When the geometric mean of the severe preeclamptic group was compared with the results of the normotensive patients, mild preeclamptic patients, chronic hypertensive patients, and superimposed preeclamptic patients, the mean hCG value of severe preeclamptic group was statistically significantly higher than all of the other groups (p < 0.001) except for the latter. The geometric mean of hCG levels of severe preeclamptic patients was compared with the geometric mean of hCG levels of superimposed preeclamptic patients (p > 0.05). The geometric mean of hCG levels in the chronic hypertensive group was lower than that of the superimposed preeclamptic group and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The geometric mean of hCG levels of the chronic hypertensive group was not significantly different from the results of the mild preeclamptic group and the normotensive group. There was, however, a statistically significant difference between the geometric means of hCG levels of mild preeclamptic patients and normotensive group (p < 0.001). The cutoff value of hCG was determined as 25,000 mIU/mL in differentiation of chronic hypertension from the severe preeclampsia, as 20,000 mIU/mL in differentiation of chronic hypertension from the superimposed preeclampsia, and as 30,000 mIU/mL in differentiation of severe preeclampsia from mild preeclampsia. CONCLUSION: The maternal serum hCG level is a useful laboratory tool when managing and treating hypertensive disorders that complicate pregnancy. The serum hCG level is especially significant in severe preeclampsia and superimposed preeclampsia. Therefore, a high serum hCG level can be a helpful marker in the diagnosis and clinical management by preventing possible complications resulting from severe and superimposed preeclampsia.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Cloacal dysgenesis sequence is a lethal malformation, which usually requires termination. In this study, our aim was to evaluate the prenatal and postnatal diagnostic features of cloacal dysgenesis sequence and review the management of the patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The data of six cases of cloacal dysgenesis sequences were collected from the ultrasonography and neonatal records. The findings were evaluated in prenatal and postnatal periods. Chromosomal analysis was performed in all the cases. The evaluation of primary and secondary malformations was done. Coexisting anomalies were searched for by radiology and histopathology. RESULTS: Malformations in six cases (two females and four males) were described. The absence of anal, genital, and urinary openings with intact perineum covered by smooth skin were common findings. These features were considered as primary malformations for cloacal dysgenesis sequence. Secondary anomalies (urinary and gastrointestinal system malformations, pulmonary hypoplasia, and other coexisting anomalies) were evaluated. CONCLUSION: The prenatal differential diagnosis of cloacal dysgenesis sequence from other urinary obstructive diseases was essential regarding fetal prognosis, prenatal, and neonatal management. The bladder outlet obstruction and pulmonary hypoplasia due to reduced amniotic fluid and/or kidney disease were considered prognostic factors for neonatal death. Termination of pregnancy is almost always recommended instead of intrauterine shunt procedures; but if we take into consideration one of our cases and a few reported cases who survived in the neonatal period, the prenatal management of these pregnancies needs to be reevaluated.

RESUMEN

Thanatophoric dysplasia is the most common type of neonatal lethal osteochondrodysplasias, with an estimated frequency of nearly of 1 in 20,000 births. It is a disorder characterized by extremely short ribs, tubular bones and macrocephaly. The prenatal diagnosis of thanatophoric dysplasia has been well established by ultrasonography in the second trimester; however it is not always possible to differentiate the thanatophoric dysplasia fetuses from the others with skeletal dysplasias like fibrochondrogenesis or atelosteogenesis by ultrasonography. Recently, mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene, located on the short arm of chromosome 4 have been identified as a cause of thanatophoric dysplasia. In this article we described the prenatal diagnosis of two fetuses with thanatophoric dysplasia at 18 and 24 weeks of gestation by ultrasonography. Postpartum radiological and histological analysis confirmed our prenatal diagnosis. Our purpose was to remind the differential prenatal diagnosis with other skeletal dysplasias and new prenatal diagnostic modalities.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: We anticipated that the universal use of a standard magnesium sulfate infusion to prevent eclamptic convulsions in preeclamptic patients would result in alterations in circulating magnesium levels that were negatively correlated with the patient's body mass index. We postulated that the highest failure rate with seizure prophylaxis would occur in patients with the highest body mass index. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After discarding 6 patients, this study was performed in 194 of 200 preeclamptic patients admitted to our high risk pregnancy unit between February 2000 and August 2000, who were divided into four groups determined by body mass indices. A standard magnesium sulfate infusion protocol (loading dose 4.5 g/15 minutes followed by 1.8 g/hour) was administered to 194 preeclamptic patients. One hundred and thirty-eight severe preeclamptic patients received magnesium sulfate during both antepartum and postpartum periods. The remaining 56 patients only received the therapy during the postpartum period. Serial serum magnesium levels of each groups were recorded and compared. RESULTS: The 1.8 g infusion rate produced acceptable magnesium levels in the majority of patients but most were in the lower 50% of the therapeutic range. Levels were lowest in patients with high body mass indices (this group recorded most of the subtherapeutic levels, particularly when patient were infused antepartum). Apart from 13 referred patients who had convulsed prior to admission no eclampsia occurred during the antepartum period while seizures occurred in nine women during the postpartum period. Two hours after the initiation of the therapy, magnesium levels were inversely related to the body mass index (BMI) both during the ante- and postpartum periods (Prepartum; group I: 5.97 mg/dl, group II: 4.90 mg/dl, group III: 4.35 mg/dl, group IV: 3.88 mg/dl; Postpartum; group I: 5.89 mg/dl, group II: 5.71 mg/dl, group III: 4.82 mg/dl and group IV: 4.61 mg/dl, Table 4). Although the lowest levels were detected in patients with high body mass indices, in contrast to our hypothesis, eclamptic seizures occurred in four patients with low body mass indices. Furthermore therapeutic serum magnesium levels were detected in three of these patients. There was no association between treatment failures and body mass or with magnesium levels. CONCLUSION: The infusion regimen described herein resulted in therapeutic levels in the majority of patients that correlated inversely with body mass index. However most levels fell within the lower range of what many studies consider "therapeutic" suggesting that maintenance infusion rates of at least 2-2.5 g/hour would be more appropriate. This would be particularly true in patients with body mass indices exceeding 30, where subtherapeutic levels occurred most frequently. The study's limited power prevents conclusions on outcomes but what is of interest is that eclamptic convulsions did not correlate with either body mass index or circulating plasma magnesium levels.

RESUMEN

Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome (KTW), also known as angio-osteohypertrophy syndrome, is a complex developmental disorder characterized by asymmetric hemi-hypertrophy of limbs and trunk due to bony and soft tissue overgrowth that may extend across the midline, varicose veins, and cutaneous hemangiomata. This rare syndrome has been previously described in the prenatal period by ultrasonography, and in literature, there are quite different presentation of cases. We describe a case suggested as a KTW syndrome by prenatal ultrasonography. The sonographic appearance of an unilateral leg hypertrophy associated with irregular echolucent cystic areas was consistent with KTW syndrome. A spheric, weak-echogenic mass without any active blood flow located in the umbilical cord revealed by color Doppler ultrasonography was an unexpected finding. The postpartum examination confirmed the prenatal diagnosis.

RESUMEN

Retention of intrauterine fetal bones is a rare finding in patient suffering from abnormal uterine bleeding or secondary infertility. Detailed patient history, pelvic ultrasonography and hysteroscopy are diagnostic tools. Here, we describe a case of postmenopausal persistent uterine bleeding and pelvic pain caused by prolonged retention of fetal bones after a midtrimester abortion 17 years ago.

RESUMEN

Several cases of enlarged cavum vergae have been reported, but prenatal diagnosis of this condition is very rare. We report 3 cases of dilated cavum vergae diagnosed prenatally using sonography. In 1 of the 3 fetuses, ventriculomegaly and lumbar meningomyelocele were additional sonographic findings. In 1 of the 3 infants, a stereotactic cyst-peritoneal shunt was placed at 6 months of age to relieve intracranial hypertension due to progressive enlargement of the cavum vergae. The infant who had a meningomyelocele required surgical repair of this defect shortly after birth; in the third infant, the dilated cavum vergae remained asymptomatic, and no surgery was necessary. When interhemispheric cystic lesions are identified prenatally, physicians must distinguish them from pathologic cysts and determine whether associated malformations are present. Sonography is useful for both the differential diagnosis and identification of associated anomalies.
