The aim is to report the results of Australia's first uterus transplantation (UTx).Following long-standing collaboration between Swedish and Australian teams, Human Research Ethics approval was obtained perform six UTx procedures in a collaborative multi-site research study (Western Sydney Local District Health 2019/ETH13038), including Royal Hospital for Women, Prince Wales Hospital, Westmead New Souh Wales. Surgeries were approved both live donor (LD) deceased models with inaugural...
Intraplacental choriocarcinoma is a rare malignant tumor diagnosed after an abortion, ectopic pregnancy, or term preterm pregnancy following the diagnosis of hydatidiform mole. During it may be more common than reported, as most patients are asymptomatic and placental choriocarcinomas usually inconspicuous macroscopically often mistaken for infarct. Based upon case study methodology, we describe 2 cases intraplacental choriocarcinoma: first was identified in product uterine curettage...

Vulvovaginal candidiasis during pregnancy is common, but serious complications, including chorioamnionitis, are infrequent. A 41-year-old woman presented at 37 weeks of gestation with reduced fetal movements, and death in utero was subsequently confirmed on ultrasound. Histopathology the cord placenta revealed Candida infection microabscesses umbilical cord. Overall, these features suggestive ascending infection, consistent as causative organism. To best our knowledge, this first reported...
The authors describe a case of congenital acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), with extensive placental involvement, causing intrauterine fetal growth restriction and unexpected demise at 33 weeks. Although unusual, other tumours, including neuroblastoma hepatoblastoma, can metastasize to the placenta. Congenital malignancy must be considered in differential diagnosis an abnormally large This emphasizes important role careful histopathologic examination placenta which, combined...
Background: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder refers to pathologic adherence of the placenta and presents multiple perinatal challenges, accounting for between 30–50% emergency peripartum hysterectomies. Accurate prenatal diagnosis allows multidisciplinary management delivery at centres with experience has been shown improve outcomes. This study aims analyse results implementing different strategies across years on PAS in a tertiary Australian hospital (Liverpool Hospital) including:...
Body-stalk anomaly is a sporadic and rare maldevelopment disorder characterised by large abdominal wall defect, spinal deformity rudimentary umbilical cord. It considered lethal condition as there are only few reports of survival but was at least one case long-term after neonatal surgery. Differential diagnosis includes isolated omphalocele or gastroschisis, short cord, amniotic band, limb body-wall complex other polymalformative syndromes. There about the expectant prenatal management body...
Objectives: Trisomies 13 and 18 are pleiotropic diseases that constitute highly prevalent autosomal trisomy syndromes.In the past, these syndromes were deemed to be incompatible with life, however, in recent years studies have shown prolonged survival for a percentage of affected children 1-2 .Consequently, question patient-based counselling case management arises.We aimed identify characteristic findings on prenatal MRI may allow assessment disease severity propose survivability score.
Orofaciodigital syndrome (OFD) belongs to a group of disorders affecting primary cilia genes important in early development. OFD is associated with neuronal, orofacial and digital anomalies. Recently, bi-allelic variants the C2CD3 gene have been new subclass OFD, type 14, which causes microcephaly cerebral malformations addition traditional phenotypic spectrum. A 24yo G1P0 female was consanguineous relationship her first cousin. She referred Fetomedicine Unit (FMU) tertiary Australian...
The imperforate hymen is one of the most frequent malformations female genital tract. clinical presentation varies from asymptomatic form to symptoms caused by obstructive effect hematocolpometra such as primary amenorrhea, abdominal and lumbar pain, constipation, dysuria urinary retention. We report case an adolescent whose only were acute retention associated with severe pelvic pain.
Trisomy 22 is the third most common in human conceptions, seen about 0.4% of clinically recognised pregnancies. The high intrauterine death rate with this condition results a live birth approximately 1 30,000-50,000. few live-born infants have very short life expectancy (minutes-3years). prenatal diagnosis was reported only cases, and no specific ultrasound diagnostic clusters are described. Previously described cases indicated growth restriction, oligohydramnios, increased nuchal thickness,...
Background: Ovarian mature cystic teratomas are common, benign, pelvic tumors easily detected by ultrasonography. These bilateral in 8% to 15%, and recurrent uncommon underdiagnosed. A benign dermoid cyst is the most common ovarian mass develop torsion. Although uncommon, adnexal torsions an important cause of gynecological emergencies. It was previously thought that untwisting adnexa could result embolus from thrombosed veins but this has proved untrue. Currently, it considered laparoscopic...
Agnathia-otocephaly is a rare and lethal malformation affecting the lower face. Case presentation: Miss X was 21-year-old, of European descent, in her 1st pregnancy. She had an otherwise uncomplicated antenatal course. At 20-week morphology scan, it noted that she fetus with marked retrognathia possible agnathia, as well mild ventriculomegaly (11mm), hypotelorism small low set ears. These features were confirmed on three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)....
Fetal and pediatric cardiomyopathies are rare disorders with a yearly incident rate of 1.1-1.5 per 100, 000. Hypertrophic dilated cardiomyopathy two common forms cardiomyopathy, characterised by thickened ventricular wall diastolic dysfunction. The alpha kinase 3 (ALPK3) gene had recently been described to be associated severe phenotypic variations. We describe case fetal hydrops that presented on the 3rd trimester, due ALPK3 mutation detected. A 40-year-old, G9P2, consanguineous...
Vein of Galen malformation (VOGM) is a rare congenital vascular representing approximately 1% intracranial arteriovenous malformations. It tangled mass abnormal connection arteries and medial prosencephalic vein Markowski also referred to as the Galen. The incidence rate around one in three million developing between 6th 11th week embryonic fetal development. A 31yo G2P1-1 at her morphology scan was suspected. MRI confirmed findings. couple received counselling form Pediatric Neurologist who...
