the ultrasonic measurement of the fetal femur length is a sensitive and precise variable for estimation of fetal growth and development. tlte objective of this study was to predict gestational age in fetuses older ttian twenty-four weeks of gestation by ultrasonic measurement of the femur length. in this study, pregnant mothers were identified by the criteria of normality, such as well-known lm...

Introduction: Lymphangiomas are very rare benign tumors of the lymphatic system, appearing as uniseptate or multiseptate cystic masses, which are usually located in the cervical or axillary area. Postnatal outcome depends on the size and location of the lesion. An increasing number of such congenital abnormalities are detected on routine conventional prenatal ultrasonography. Although prenatal ...

Pelvic midline cystic mass associated with renal malformation represents typical imaging features of a cloacal anomaly. We report a case of persistent cloaca that was diagnosed antenatally with fetal ultrasonography and MRI.

OBJECTIVES To assess the accuracy of sonographic fetal weight estimation within 14 days of delivery in a Jordanian population using Hadlock formula 1 in the third trimester. MATERIALS AND METHODS Estimated fetal weights and actual fetal weights data were collected from the medical records of pregnant women who had undergone sonographic fetal weight estimation within 14 days of delivery over t...

BACKGROUND Fetuses from mothers with Graves' disease may experience hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism due to transplacental transfer of antithyroid drugs (ATD) or anti-TSH receptor antibodies, respectively. Little is known about the fetal consequences. Early diagnosis is essential to successful management. We investigated a new approach to the fetal diagnosis of thyroid dysfunction and validate...

As the risk for fetal malformation is present in all pregnant women, many experts believe that prenatal ultrasound screening should be universal. The frequency of fetal malformations and the undesirable consequences for affected infants and their families are convincing arguments for using this modality on a routine basis. When operated rigorously at certain periods of gestation, ultrasonograph...

Incidence of immune hydrops fetal is decreasing with the liberal use of anti-D immunoglobulin, But this condition has not been eradicated. We report here a case of immune hydrops fetalis detected on ultrasonography.

OBJECTIVE To establish reference intervals for the fetal cisterna magna volume by means of two-dimensional (2D) method using the multiplanar mode of three-dimensional ultrasonography. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cross-sectional study with 224 healthy pregnant women between the 17th and 29th gestational weeks. The volume was automatically obtained by multiplying the three major axes in axial and sag...

BACKGROUND Early detection of malformation is tremendously improved with improvement in imaging technology. Yet in a developing country like India majority of pregnant women are not privileged to get timely diagnosis. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To assess the present status and potential of first trimester ultrasonography in detection of fetal congenital structural malformations. METHODOLOGY This w...

OBJECTIVE To make a comparative evaluation of estimation of fetal weight in term pregnancy by u sin g a) abdominal girth (AG) X symphysiof.indal height (SFH) b) Hadlock's formula using ultrasonography c) Johnson's formula and d) Dawn's formula. METHODS The fetal weight in-utero was calculated by usin g the above methods in 200 pregnant women at term. The results were correlated with the actual ...
