537: Sonographic evaluation of fetal fractional limb volume across gestation in gestational diabetes

Sonographic measurements of subcutaneous fetal fat in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes and in normal pregnancies.

AIM To compare sonographic measurements of fetal fat tissue in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes (GD), with patients undergoing either a diet only or a combined diet and insulin treatment, to those obtained in pregnancies with a normal glucose challenge test. METHODS Forty-five singleton pregnancies complicated by GD but free of any other maternal disease known to affect fetal g...

The sonographic evaluation of fetal anomalies in oligohydramnios between 16 and 30 weeks gestation.

The sonograms of all patients with oligohydramnios between 16 and 30 weeks gestation seen over a 4-year period were reviewed to determine (1) whether sonographically detectable fetal anomalies were present, and (2) when these anomalies were present, how this information was used in maternal fetal management. Cases of ruptured membranes and fetal demise were excluded from the study. Sixteen pati...

Sonographic Assessment of fetal subcutaneous Fat thickness as an indicator of gestational diabetes

Background: Gestational diabetes is the most common metabolic complication affecting women during pregnancy. It is a critical issue during pregnancy, due to possible maternal and fetal complications. The most common consequence to the fetus is macrosomia, which has an incidence rate of 26% among diabetic pregnancies. It is well known that adipose tissue thickness and skin fold thickness are gre...

I-60: Sonographic Evaluation of the Fetal SkeletalAnomalies

Approach to the sonographic evaluation of fetal ventriculomegaly at 11 to 14 weeks gestation

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to report the prevalence and associated findings of fetal ventriculomegaly between 11 + 0 and 13 + 6 gestational weeks and to evaluate a sonographic approach to classify first trimester ventriculomegaly in the standard axial plane used for biparietal diameter (BPD) measurement. METHODS The ratio between choroid plexus and lateral ventricle diameter (PDVDR),...
