Sonographic identification of lower limb venous hypoplasia in the prenatal diagnosis of Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
We report the prenatal identification of lower-limb venous hypoplasia to support a provisional prenatal diagnosis of Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS). Ultrasound assessment of a fetus with marked lower-limb edema, cystic areas in the abdomen/pelvis/lower limbs and abnormal development of the feet demonstrated bilateral hypoplasia of the femoral and popliteal veins. The external iliac veins and the great saphenous veins were seen to be normal. The lower limb arterial system was present. These findings supported KTS as the most likely provisional diagnosis, and postnatal clinical evaluation confirmed that the infant is ...

Diffusion-weighted MRI in lungs of normal fetuses and those with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: There is a significant relationship between ADC(low) and ADC(high) values and gestational age in normal fetal lungs. This relationship is most probably explained by developmental changes during the last three stages of lung development, which involve intense peripheral growth of airways and vessels as well as maturation. In CDH, measurement of ADC(low) might be useful as a predictor of postnatal outcome that is independent of lung volume. Copyright (c) 2009 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

We describe a series of three cases in which the diagnosis of IIAC was made at 23, 25 and 29 weeks' gestation. All three cases presented with a normal anatomy scan at 20 weeks' gestation with an echogenic intracardiac focus. Follow-up scans showed generalized hyperechogenicity and calcification of the walls of the large arteries, particularly the aorta and the iliac arteries. All cases developed hydrops fetalis with cardiomegaly and polyhydramnios later in gestation, resulting in intrauterine fetal death in two cases and neonatal death immediately following delivery in the third.

CONCLUSIONS: The ICT is an important contributor to prolongation of AV time intervals.

Antenatal detection of cleft lip with or without cleft palate: incidence of associated chromosomal and structural anomalies.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: It is essential to tailor the antenatal counseling of patients to the specific scan diagnosis, considering both the anatomical type of cleft and the presence or absence of associated abnormalities. It is inappropriate to offer invasive testing to all patients. The use of three-dimensional ultrasound as an adjunct should be considered in these patients to improve the accuracy of prenatal diagnosis. Copyright (c) 2009 ISUOG.

Phosphorylated insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 in cervical secretions and sonographic cervical length in the prediction of spontaneous preterm delivery.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Cervical length and the phIGFBP-1 test are independent variables that can be used together to predict preterm delivery in women with uterine contractions. A sonographically measured cervical length of > 26 mm with a negative phIGFBP-1 test in a patient with regular uterine contractions before 37 weeks' gestation seems to indicate a low risk of preterm delivery and may therefore allow avoidance of unnecessary therapies.

Twin-reversed arterial perfusion sequence: pre- and postoperative cardiovascular findings in the 'pump' twin.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated indexed cardiac output is strongly associated with cardiovascular compromise. Traditional obstetric prognosticators do not correlate with cardiovascular derangements. In pump twins with cardiac compromise, postoperative cardiovascular status improves acutely. Given this analysis, we conclude that assessment of cardiovascular findings should be incorporated into the management and treatment of TRAP sequence. Copyright (c) 2009 ISUOG.

BOLD MRI in sheep fetuses: a non-invasive method for measuring changes in tissue oxygenation.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: This experimental study demonstrated that BOLD MRI is a reliable non-invasive method for measuring changes in tissue oxygenation in fetal sheep. The unchanged signal in the fetal brain during altered maternal oxygen conditions is probably explained by the brain-sparing mechanism. Copyright (c) 2009 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Gestational sac volume: comparison between SonoAVC and VOCAL measurements at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks of gestation.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Gestational sac volume calculation is feasible with SonoAVC in most cases and does not differ from that performed using VOCAL. High and medium growth SonoAVC settings seem to be more accurate for gestational sac volume calculation, although larger studies are required for standardization of the technique. The reproducibility analysis showed similar results to those previously published. Copyright (c) 2009 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Confidence of expert ultrasound operators in making a diagnosis of adnexal tumor: effect on diagnostic accuracy and interobserver agreement.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The accuracy of expert ultrasound operators using pattern recognition depends on the degree of certainty with which the diagnosis is made. Interobserver variability is also influenced by the operators' confidence in making the diagnosis. Our findings suggest that the level of confidence with which the diagnosis is made should be included in the ultrasound report. Copyright (c) 2009 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Ultrasound methods to distinguish between malignant and benign adnexal masses in the hands of examiners with different levels of experience.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Theoretical ultrasound teaching did not seem to improve the performance of pattern recognition in the hands of trainees. A logistic regression model and a scoring system to classify adnexal masses as benign or malignant perform less well when they were used by inexperienced examiners than when used by an expert. Before using a model or a scoring system, experience and/or proper training are likely to be of paramount importance if diagnostic performance is to be optimized. Copyright (c) 2009 ISUOG.
