OBJECTIVE To present prenatal diagnosis of partial monosomy 5p (5p14.1 → pter) and partial monosomy 14q (14q32.31 → qter). METHODS A 33-year-old woman underwent amniocentesis at 20 weeks of gestation because of abnormal fetal ultrasound. Amniocentesis revealed a dicentric chromosome of dic(5;14).

OBJECTIVE To report the first known case of 6p deletion presenting in utero with hydrops fetalis and multiple anomalies in the second trimester of pregnancy. METHODS A thirty-year-old woman (gravida 3 para 1 abortion 1) was referred to our hospital at 18 weeks of gestation because of suspicion of

OBJECTIVE This is a case of a prenatally diagnosed non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) associated with translocation t(5;11)(q22;p15). An association between NIHF and this translocation has not been reported previously. METHODS The patient was referred to the perinatology clinic with hydrops fetalis

Seventeen cases of fetal cystic hygroma detected during ultrasound examination are reported. In nine instances, associated abnormalities were recognized, such as fetal hydrops and a two-vessel cord. All diagnoses were confirmed at autopsy. Karyotyping revealed normal findings in six cases, Turner's

Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics of interrupted of the inferior vena cava with azygous continuation and the prognosis. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 21 fetuses diagnosed with interrupted inferior vena cava with azygous continuation among 28 567 pregnant women who underwent

BACKGROUND The identification of foetal anomalies in utero is important. The prenatal detection of such abnormalities, often aids in planning the appropriate obstetrical management. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the antenatal prevalence of the major congenital anomalies and the malformation patterns which

A total of 834 women with uneventful pregnancies were followed prospectively until the 15th week of gestation by TVS to screen for early embryonic malformations. Twenty-eight embryonic anomalies were detected in this series (3.3%). The median gestational age at diagnosis was 11 (range, 8 to 15)

OBJECTIVE To design a scheme to rank sonographic anomalies as indicators of aneuploidy and record the distribution of data from 2143 prenatal amniotic fluid/chorionic villous sample diagnoses referred for karyotyping because of fetal anomalies detected with ultrasound. METHODS In all cases the

Zika virus is increasingly recognized as a fetal pathogen worldwide. We describe the first case of neonatal demise with travel-associated Zika virus infection in the United States of America, including a novel prenatal ultrasound finding. A young Latina presented to our health care system in

The purpose of this study was to report on the morphological findings in placentae from abortions, stillbirths and perinatal deaths, and to assess the value of the results of the placental examinations. The material included 341 placentae and their matched autopsies. Fifty placentae came from

OBJECTIVE To compare placental lesions for stillbirth cases and live birth controls in a population-based study. METHODS Pathologic examinations were performed on placentas from singleton pregnancies using a standard protocol. Data were analyzed overall and within gestational age groups at

BACKGROUND Worldwide, stillbirth is one of the leading causes of death. Altered fetal growth and placental abnormalities are the strongest and most prevalent known risk factors for stillbirth. The aim of this study was to identify patterns of association between placental abnormalities, fetal

OBJECTIVE To describe cases of trisomy 22 detected prenatally on second-trimester sonography and to review the literature on similar cases, with special emphasis on the prenatal findings and pregnancy outcome. METHODS We performed follow-up second-trimester sonography and fetal karyotyping on 3

BACKGROUND Prenatal diagnosis of anorectal malformations currently occurs in 0-15.9% of screened cases. In cloacas, these numbers are unknown. We speculate that some images from prenatal ultrasound studies may suggest the diagnosis of cloaca, but are not recognized because of a lack of suspicion for
