We present our experience in the contribution of three-dimensional ultrasonography, using the rendering mode, to the prenatal diagnosis of congenital anomalies including neurological defects (acrania/anencephaly, encephalocele, holoprosencephaly), facial anomalies (cyclopia and facial clefts), abdominal wall defects (omphalocele and gastroschisis) and defects of extremities (fetal muscle-skelet...

BACKGROUND Fetal growth restriction is a major determinant of adverse perinatal outcome. Screening procedures for fetal growth restriction need to identify small babies and then differentiate between those that are healthy and those that are pathologically small. We sought to determine the diagnostic effectiveness of universal ultrasonic fetal biometry in the third trimester as a screening test...

The prolonged retention of fetal bone structure is an uncommon condition after a previous abortion. We describe two cases with fetal bone fragment amongst 3589 hysteroscopies (0.05%) who had no complaint other than secondary infertility. In both patients hyperechogenic areas were found through transvaginal ultrasound and the bones were removed by hysteroscopy. Despite meticulous evaluation duri...

Pregnancy diagnosis is widely practiced in cattle production systems. Ultrasonography is an alternative technique to rectal palpation for pregnancy diagnosis. Fetal losses caused by rectal palpation are well documented; however, reported losses from ultrasonography for pregnancy diagnosis are often confounded by normal embryonic losses during early gestation. Losses caused by inexperienced tech...

1. Differentiate genitourinary abnormalities associated with hydronephrosis detected on fetal ultrasonography. 2. Describe the type of fetal hydronephrosis that requires a complete uroradiologic evaluation. 3. Characterize the complete postnatal uroradiologic evaluation of significant fetal hydronephrosis. 4. Delineate the factor that sets the timetable for postnatal uroradiologic evaluation. 5...

Early identification of fetuses with chromosomal abnormalities enables health care providers to form an appropriate management plan for each patient. The main objective of this study was to determine the role of ultrasonography in screening and identifying fetuses at risk for chromosomal abnormalities. A retrospective review of 6480 patients from the Obstetrics and Gynecology ward of Firou...

Background and Aims: Fetal echocardiography is helpful in early detection of Congenital Heart Disease.Our study was conducted to evaluate the most common indications of referral and outcome in a tertiary-care fetal echocardiography practice. Methods: A Cross-sectional analysis of all pregnant women referred by obstetricians to cardiology unit for fetal echocardiography over a 1-year period (Jul...

Dystocia or stillbirth accompanied by Large Offspring Syndrome (LOS) occurs rather frequently in Holstein nuclear transferred calves. In regard to prophylaxes, nuclear transferred Holstein fetuses were monitored with ultrasonography during the final stage of gestation. Fetal weight was estimated weekly based on the fetal metacarpal width using ultrasonography. Fourteen Holstein cows pregnant wi...
