Twin reversed-arterial-perfusion syndrome (TRAPS) is a rare complication of monochorionic twin pregnancies. TRAPS is characterized by the hemodynamic dependence of a "recipient" twin from a "pump" twin. The "recipient" twin exhibits lethal abnormalities, such as acardia and acephaly. Circulatory
BACKGROUND
The clubfoot and congenital constriction band is a known association in which the clubfoot is considered as being rigid, responding poorly to casting, and requiring surgical interventions.
OBJECTIVE
The series describes 3 cases of clubfoot with deep ipsilateral congenital constriction
Treatment of relapsed or neglected clubfeet between the age of 8-15 years is at present unsatisfactory. Correction by triple arthrodesis with wedge osteotomies is not possible before the end of skeletal maturation. This caused us to use Ilizarov's external fixator, which made it possible to correct
1. Clubfoot is more common in males and 50% of cases are bilateral. 2. Contact and reassurance with the parents is important during a lengthy procedure, such as bilateral club foot releases. 3. Edema is the most common complication of clubfoot repair, so it is important to monitor the infant closely
The treatment of congenital clubfoot has been changing rapidly since the mid-1990s with the worldwide use of the Ponseti method for serial casting and limited operative interventions. This method was first applied for isolated clubfeet and later on for other types of clubfoot (teratologic, residual,
OBJECTIVE
Clubfoot, or talipes equinovarus (TEV), is commonly diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound. This study sought to visualize TEV and associated abnormalities on fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared with ultrasound.
METHODS
This retrospective study included the MRI scans of 44 fetuses
Lymphangiomas are rare congenital malformations of the lymphatic system. Despite the benign histology, they are likely to grow rapidly and invade the surrounding tissues. In contrast to the cystic hygromas, lymphangiomas at the axillary region tend to have normal karyotype. However, associated
This study reports the effects of low dosages of trichloroethylene (TCE) (1-25 mumol/egg) on chick development when embryos were exposed directly to TCE on days 1 and 2 and examined at day 14 of embryogenesis. The results indicate that in terms of embryotoxicity, growth defects and morphological
We present rapid aneuploidy diagnosis of partial trisomy 3q (3q27.3→qter) and partial monosomy 14q (14q31.3→qter) of paternal origin by aCGH using uncultured amniocytes in a fetus with hypotonia, scoliosis, arthrogryposis, hyperextensible joints, facial dysmorphism, ventricular septal defect,
Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of fetal akinesia deformation sequence (FADS) is usually achieved during the second and third trimester of pregnancy and relies on the demonstration of contractures of multiple joints, paucity of fetal movements and nuchal edema or generalized hydrops. We present the
A new patient with severe mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type VII is reported. Non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) was diagnosed during pregnancy. At birth, he showed generalized hydrops and dysmorphic features typical of MPS. Many diagnoses were excluded before reaching the diagnosis of MPS VII at 8
In a 4 1/3-year old girl we found the karyotype 45, XX, del13(pter yields q12). The father showed a balanced translocation 3/13 (karyotype: 46,XY,t(3;13) (p27;q12). Psychological investigation of the patient revealed almost normal intelligence (DQ91). Clinical symptoms were: low birth weight, growth
We report on an infant girl with hydrops, macrocephaly, high forehead, flat face, hypertelorism, broad nasal bridge, median cleft lip and alveolar ridge, grooved palate, accessory frenula, small tongue, milia, severe rib and limb shortness, brachydactyly, talipes equinovarus, Dandy-Walker
OBJECTIVE
To report five cases of major congenital malformations associated with common aneuploidies detected by rapid aneuploidy diagnosis.
METHODS
The fetus in the first case presented cebocephaly, semilobar holoprosencephaly, and tetralogy of Fallot on ultrasound at 25 gestational weeks.
OBJECTIVE
The sonographic examination of fetuses is generally thought to be compromised when oligohydramnios is present because of the subjective impression of less adequate visualization of fetal anatomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent to which oligohydramnios limits our ability
