Most congenital heart defects (CHDs) are diagnosed on targeted prenatal transvaginal (TVS) or transabdominal (TAS) ultrasonography during the early second trimester at midgestation. Nevertheless, delayed diagnosis in some cardiac malformations still remains despite detailed echocardiographic examination. The present study was conducted to evaluate evolution of fetal anomalies and assess their development utero.We retrospectively reviewed 22,050 pregnant women who were divided into two...

High‐risk excluded due major ultrasound anomalies, sonographic soft markers, abnormal maternal...

Abstract Objective To describe a novel, sonographic approach for in‐utero evaluation of normal and abnormal aortic arch. Methods Aortic arch was evaluated by imaging the axial view upper fetal mediastinum. The left defined V‐shaped appearance junction between ductus arteriosus arch, with trachea situated posteriorly. Right double arches were diagnosed when great vessels appeared U‐shaped, intermediate location trachea. Results Between 1997 1999, 18 347 women scanned in three prenatal...

To describe the feasibility of diagnosing fetal congenital heart defects by transvaginal ultrasonography during first trimester pregnancy.Pregnant women presenting to Ultrasonographic Unit at Chaim Sheba Medical Center who had a diagnosis were reviewed retrospectively. Attention was paid prenatal ultrasound studies, karyotype, and pathologic examinations.Using high-resolution ultrasonography, we able detect tachycardia (one case), ectopia cordis with ventricular septal defect...

To evaluate the outcome of pregnancies with proven and well-dated primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection without abnormal fetal ultrasound magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.This was a prospective study 38 singleton vertical transmission CMV prenatal MRI examinations. Entry requirements included precise dating pregnancy known time maternal infection. Neonatal follow-up strict requirement, all neonates having eye fundus examination, brain scan hearing evaluation. All children were...

To establish whether endometrial blood flow and thickness can predict the success rate of in-vitro fertilization, 156 cycles were evaluated. The parameters were: colour power Doppler pulsatility index (PI), resistance (RI), systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D) thickness. Each patient was studied: on day ovum retrievalpickup, embryo transfer. Non-endometrial studied age, oestrestrogen progesterone concentrations, number oocytes, embryos. Pregnancy achieved in 31 cycles. On retrieval, patients who...

To study the outcome of 50 pregnancies with documented vertical transmission cytomegalovirus infection.We recruited pregnant women (51 fetuses) primary infection and confirmed in utero transmission. Prenatal evaluation included diagnostic amniocentesis repeated ultrasound examinations. Fetal diagnosis was made after 21 weeks' gestation by based on virus isolation culture, shell vial, polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Cytomegalovirus neonates determined urinary viral birth or histologic...

To establish a nomogram for fetal vermis measurements during gestation.A prospective cross-sectional study of normal singleton pregnancies. Measurements the width (in axial plane) and height sagittal were performed by high-resolution transabdominal ultrasonography between 18 38 weeks gestation in 256 fetuses.Adequate obtained fetuses. Vermian as function gestational age biparietal diameter expressed regression equations correlation coefficients found to be highly statistically significant (P...

The reproductive outcome of women with repeated abortions or infertility was assessed following treatment by operative hysteroscopy for an intrauterine septum adhesions. A prospective follow-up study (mean +/- SD, 21.1 10.3 months) 47 patients (36 suffering from and 11 recurrent abortions) 36 adhesions (24 complaining 12 performed. pregnancy rate in infertile hysteroscopic resection 53 48% respectively. wastage who underwent decreased postoperatively 87.5 to 44.4% 86.5 42.8% Our results...

To compare the outcomes of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and bipolar cord coagulation (BPC) methods for selective feticide in complicated monochorionic (MC) twin gestations to determine risk factors adverse pregnancy outcome.This was a retrospective cohort study all patients with MC who underwent reduction single tertiary care center between 2000 2014. We compared two respect various demographic, obstetric perinatal outcome variables.Fifty-three terminations were performed, 36 by RFA 17 BPC....

To suggest a new ultrasonographic approach for prenatal diagnosis of esophageal atresia (EA).Since 1995, whenever EA is suspected, we perform systematic multiplanar scanning the fetal upper body in order to demonstrate an pouch. This includes three image plans neck and chest: coronal, sagittal axial views cephalic direction. The scan time 20-30 min.Twenty-five pregnant patients were referred during period under study examinations due polyhydramnios and/or absent or small stomach. In six...
