Fetus- in- fetu (FIF), is a rare congenital anomaly that occurs due to malformed fetus growing inside the twin. It occurs due to the aberration in the diamniotic monochorionic monozygotic twinning with unequal division of inner cell mass of blastocyst leading to inclusion of small cell mass inside the developing sister fetus. The most common presentation will be with intra-abdominal mass locat...

A 17-month-old male child was brought to our department by his parents when they noticed a lump in the lower abdomen for last 3 days. Abdominal ultrasonography (US) revealed a large, hyperechoic, and heterogeneous mass, measuring about 56 mm × 34 mm × 48 mm, in the lower abdomen. Then, CT scan was performed to verify a large, complex, soft-tissue mass with bony elements [Figure 1]. At laparotom...

The near-term rat fetus exhibits brief oral grasp responses to discrete presentations of an artificial nipple. In the present experiment, an artificial nipple was presented to individual fetal subjects 10 times. Five of the presentations were timed to occur when spontaneous fetal motor activity was low and five while activity was high, as determined by the baseline activity for the individual f...

differences show that delivery by lower segment caesarean section is more dangerous when the fetus presents by the breech, even in the best possible circumstances. The greater likelihood of a low Apgar score might be due to an inherent abnormality which in itself had caused the breech presentation but perhaps is more likely to be due to respiratory efforts before delivery of the head. A mature,...
