Oligohydramnios during the Early Second Trimester

Oligohydramnios developing early in pregnancy is less common, and the fetal outcomes are usually poor. This is because prolonged decrease in amniotic fluid may cause compression sequences, such as pulmonary hypoplasia, muscle hypotrophy or joint constriction. Early-onset oligohydramnios may be caused by preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) or decreased secretion of amniotic fluid. Ear...

Sonography of the fetal cochlea in the early second trimester of pregnancy.

OBJECTIVES To examine the feasibility of imaging the fetal cochlea in the early second trimester. METHODS This study included 42 healthy fetuses of low-risk pregnancies between 14 and 16 weeks. The coronal head sections via sagittal and lateral acoustic windows were used for cochlear visualization. The coronal plane was directed across the thalamus, oriented to the petrous part of the tempora...
