Epilepsy appears in 70-80% of patients with tuberous sclerosis complex, most commonly the first year age. Early manifestation epilepsy is associated drug-resistant and mental retardation more than 80% patients. Clinical epileptic seizures are preceded by deterioration EEG recording thus infants high risk can be identified.We hypothesized that preventative antiepileptic treatment multifocal activity on might lower incidence retardation.Forty-five early diagnosis complex were included...
Isolated complete atrioventricular block in the fetus is a rare but potentially lethal condition which effect of steroid treatment on outcome unclear. The objective this work was to study risk factors associated with death and influence outcome.We studied 175 fetuses diagnosed second- or third-degree (2000-2007) retrospectively multinational, multicenter setting. In 80% 162 pregnancies documented antibody status, maternal anti-Ro/SSA antibodies. Sixty-seven cases (38%) were treated...
Objective. We investigated the utility of analyzing prenatal mediastinal measures great arteries in distinguishing true coarctation aorta (CoA) from false-positive CoA. Methods. All fetuses this study had suspicion CoA based on presence right-left heart disproportion. defined 3 groups: group 1, fetal CoA; 2, with a narrow aortic arch; and 3, without arch. Results. In mean pulmonary artery (PA) to ascending (Ao) diameter ratio ± SD was 2.03 0.48, 1.60 0.23. The difference statistically...
This study aimed to analyze prenatal diagnosis, perinatal outcomes, and postnatal follow-up in fetuses with ectopia cordis (EC).This retrospective analysis accessed 31 patients EC who were either diagnosed or referred a tertiary Fetal Medicine centers for diagnosis Brazil, Germany, Italy, Poland. We analyzed these patients.Our included cohort of EC, 4 27 whom had partial complete protrusion the heart through ventral defect thoracoabdominal wall, respectively. was by fetal echocardiography at...
Abstract Objectives In majority of congenital heart defects the size fetal is normal (without cardiomegaly). Aim this study was to establish ranges transversal cardiac diameter (4CV TW ED) and compare dextro-transposition great arteries (d-TGA) with for 4CV ED. Methods Retrospectively 3,553 records we analyzed included 1,154 healthy singleton fetuses as a control group. Consecutive percentiles ED according gestational age (GA) were calculated. 74 d-TGA in 3rd trimester. Results The −2, −1,...
Aim: Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a severe congenital defect that may be accompanied by tricuspid and mitral valve regurgitation. The aim of this paper to identify new ultrasound marker for evaluating the outcomes fetuses with hypoplastic syndrome. Material methods: This was single-center analysis group who underwent fetal examinations at our tertiary center between 2016 2023. study included 80 gestational age studied ranged from 16.3 39.5 weeks. All anomalies irregularities...
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital heart defect that can be diagnosed prenatally and might very important for perinatal management. In addition to other cardiac abnormalities (levocardia, situs inversus, small left ventricle, double outlet right parallel great vessels, hypoplastic aortic arch), total of subdiaphragmatic type was during prenatal echocardiography examination in the second half pregnancy. Fetal monitoring showed no signs congestive failure. The...
Abstract Objective Prenatal congenital heart disease classification systems distinguish between critical dextro‐transposition of the great arteries (d‐TGA) with restriction foramen ovale (FO) (which requires a Rashkind procedure within first 24 h following delivery) and d‐TGA for which surgery is planned (after prostaglandin perfusion or later than after delivery). However, current prenatal diagnostic criteria postnatal FO in are inadequate, resulting high false‐negative rate. We aimed to...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the prenatal characteristics and postnatal outcome of cardiac tumors diagnosed at two Polish cardiology centers. Methods Descriptive analysis 23 fetuses with (12 multiple 11 single) over 16 years (from 1993 to 2009). Congestive heart failure was when cardiovascular profile score seven or less. Results Associated structural congenital defects were present in three fetuses, extracardiac anomalies three, chromosomal two. developed five cases. Perinatal survival...
Introduction: Prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) leads to improved outcome but not mortality rate. This may be the case for coarctation aorta (CoA). The objective this study is estimate effect a prenatal CoA by comparing neonates with time diagnosis.Materials and methods: included 38 diagnosed prenatally 102 postnatally. postnatal group was divided into two subgroups: (1) severe CoA: symptoms within first 7 days (n = 43) (2) mild 8–28th day 34). more than 28 after delivery...
The objective of this study was to analyze the spectrum prenatally diagnosed absent pulmonary valve syndrome (APVS) and outcome from diagnosis onwards. Fetuses with APVS tetralogy Fallot (TOF/APVS) intact ventricular septum (APVS/IVS) were included.Multicenter retrospective International Prenatal Cardiology Collaboration Group. Clinical echocardiographic databases nine referral centers reviewed 2012-2016.The cohort included 71 cases, 59 TOF/APVS 12 APVS/IVS. In 18.3% achieved within first...
Magnetic resonance data were collected from a diverse population of gravid women to objectively compare the quality 1.5-tesla (1.5 T) versus 3-T magnetic imaging developing human brain. MaZda and B11 computational-visual cognition tools used process 2D images. We proposed wavelet-based parameter two novel histogram-based parameters for Fisher texture analysis in three-dimensional space. Wavenhl, focus index, dispersion index revealed better 3 T. Though both 1.5 T images 16-bit DICOM encoded,...
To analyze a population of fetuses with prenatally diagnosed right aortic arch (RAA).Retrospective study RAA between 2011 and 2015 in two referral centers.Right was found 4.4% (46/1036) cardiovascular abnormalities (CVA). As an isolated anomaly, present 30.4% cases; 32.6%, other CVA were detected; 23.9%, extracardiac anomalies; 13.1%, only malformations. The most common noncardiac thymus hypoplasia/aplasia (7/17), which six had deletion 22q.11.2. In another three fetuses, trisomy 21 present....
Objective . To identify barriers and personnel attitudes towards realization of palliative care principles in neonatological units. Study Design An anonymous questionnaire was posted to all heads departments head nurses the 27 units Lodz area. Results We received 46 (85%) questionnaires. Final analysis comprised 42 properly filled‐in questionnaires (by 22 doctors 20 nurses). In case prenatal diagnosis a lethal defect, 77.27% 65% opted for informing mother also about possibility pregnancy...
ABSTRACT Objective We describe the National Registry for Fetal Cardiac Pathology, a program under Polish Ministry of Health aimed at improving prenatal diagnosis, care, and management congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods An online database was created to prospectively record delivery, follow‐up, still images video fetuses with CHD. A certification in fetal cardiac ultrasound also implemented. Optimal screening referral centers were identified by number entered yearly each center. Results...
Ectopia cordis (EC) is a rare malformation due to failure of maturation the midline mesodermal components chest and abdomen. It can be defined as complete or partial displacement heart outside thoracic cavity. comprises 0.1% congenital diseases. Common cardiac anomalies associated with EC are ventricular septal defect, atrial tetralogy Fallot. additional usually lead intrauterine death. The possibility efficacy surgery in surviving neonate depends on degree EC, coexisting defects...
This Protocol for Evaluating the Fetal and Neonatal Heart details indications, views, measurements to be obtained both (1) basic screening examination of fetal heart (a necessary component all complete anatomy evaluations) specialty study called (2) echocardiography as applied either fetus or neonate, using 2D Doppler ultrasound. While purpose is detect exclude possibility a cardiac abnormality, attempts diagnose specific anatomic physiologic disruption. Also emphasized value collaborative...
Serious complications in both mother and newborn arising as a result of fetal macrosomia indicate the need for early diagnosis prevention. Unfortunately, current predictors, such biometry, fundal height, amniotic fluid index, appear to be insufficient. Therefore, we decided assess predictive potential interventricular septal thickness (IVST), measured at ≥33 weeks gestation. Two hundred ninety-nine patients met inclusion criteria: complete medical history including all necessary...
