Congenital intracranial tumors are rare. If such a lesion is detected before birth, it is usually an incidental finding on fetal ultrasonography. The definition of a "congenital" tumor is controversial. The authors report the case of a "definite" congenital glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) diagnosed with the aid of ultrasonography and fetal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the 37th week of gesta...

Ultrasonographic examination is widely used for screening of abnormal findings on prenatal screening. Cleft lip with or without cleft palate of the fetus can also be screened by using ultrasonography. Presence of abnormal findings of the fetal lip or palate can be detected by the imaging professionals. However, such findings may not be familiar to oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Oral and maxil...

Fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma is a rare disease, and most of the cases are detected incidentally during antenatal ultrasound. This case discovered ultrasonography at 29 weeks gestation. Multiple hyperechoic round shape masses were seen in cardiac. After birth, baby had been under paediatric cardiologist follow-up with regular echocardiography. Management was mainly conservative time being as there ...

A 35-year-old pregnant woman visited our department and had been treated with 100 µg of daily oral levothyroxine for hypothyroidism. An ultrasonography screening was performed at 25 weeks gestation and revealed a fetal goiter and an increased amniotic fluid volume. Fetal hypothyroidism was confirmed by cordocentesis and amniotic hormone levels at 26 weeks gestation. We treated the mother with 2...

Background: Choriocarcinoma is a rare, aggressive subtype of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. The diagnosis of metastatic choriocarcinoma in the setting of a viable intrauterine pregnancy is exceedingly rare and often associated with feto-maternal hemorrhage. Case: An otherwise healthy Gravida 1 Para 0 at 34 weeks gestational age presented with metastatic choriocarcinoma and a viable fetus....

OBJECTIVE To present the variable appearance of micrognathia in fetuses by three-dimensional ultrasonography and to describe practical methods for analysis of these volume data. METHODS Three-dimensional multiplanar imaging and surface-rendering techniques were used to show various syndromes and diagnostic approaches for the evaluation of fetal micrognathia. RESULTS Nine cases of fetal micr...

he prenatal detection of a cystic lesion in the fetal occipital region could be alarming, because it may represent a meningocele or an encephalocele. We report a case of fetal scalp cyst detected on prenatal ultrasonography. This case is reported because the definitive antenatal diagnosis could be very difficult, but a correct diagnosis is important to avoid unnecessary intervention, in particu...

Routine ultrasonography examination may miss fetal defecation and if seen it can be a source of misinterpretation which can lead to a wrong diagnose and management of pregnancy. We report two rare cases of fetal defecation in the second trimester and we describe 3D sonographic findings associated with this condition.

Most of the congenital heart diseases can be diagnosed in utero using fetal echocardiography. With the development of ultrasonography and intrauterine cardiac intervention technique, fetal cardiac intervention (FCI) for critical aortic stenosis, highly restrictive or intact atrial septum, pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum (PA/ IVS), and critical pulmonary stenosis (CPS) are av...
