Suspected fetal anomalies

The role of magnetic resonance imaging in refining the diagnosis of suspected fetal renal anomalies.

OBJECTIVE This prospective study was designed to detect the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in refining the diagnosis of suspected fetal renal anomalies detected during screening sonography. MATERIAL AND METHODS 54 pregnant women, with suspected fetal renal anomalies detected during routine ultrasound screening, were rescanned by MRI to refine the diagnosis of the suspected renal ano...

Fetal Cardiac Anomalies; A Fetal Echocardiographic Study

= Abstract = Sewn years' experience of fetal echocardiography was reviewed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of fetal echocardiography, distribution of individual cardiac anomalies, and some practical problems of fetal echocardiography in Korea. A total of 737 fetuses IMlre examined and 45 confirmed and 20 unconfirmed cardiac structural anomalies IMlre identified. In general, fetal echocardiogr...

Association of Fetal and Parental Chromosomal Abnormalities with Congenital Anomalies

Background & Aims: Chromosome abnormalities are a major cause of miscarriage and neonatal mortality. The present study aimed to determine the association of fetal and parents chromosomal abnormalities with congenital anomalies. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in a tertiary referral center (Afzalipour Hospital) over 16 months period (2011-2012). The study groups consisted of 77 fe...

Fetal sonographic diagnosis of aortic arch anomalies.

Aortic arch anomalies refer to congenital abnormalities of the position or branching pattern, or both of the aortic arch. Although aortic arch anomalies are not uncommon, reports on their prenatal diagnosis are scarce. Insight into the hypothetical arch model is crucial to understanding anomalies of the aortic arch in the fetus. Recognition of the trachea, three major vessels, ductus arteriosus...
