Screening for early fetal structural anomalies
Improvement of high resolution ultrasound scan equipment, have enabled obstetricians to examine the fetus during first trimester in more detail than ever before. It is established that first trimester ultrasound scan is superior to second trimester scan in determining gestational age, risk assessment for chromosomal aneuploidy and chorionicity in multiple pregnancy1-3. Moreover, first trimester...
متن کاملScreening for fetal chromosome aberrations in early pregnancy.
Seven years' experience in prenatal screening for fetal chromosome aberrations in the west of Scotland is reviewed. Fetal chromosome analysis was undertaken in 716 pregnancies, 49% of which were judged to be at substantial risk of a fetal chromosome aberration. A chromosome aberration was found in 26 pregnancies, 14 of which were sufficiently severe to justify termination: the latter included n...
متن کاملIdentification of fetal cardiac anatomy and hemodynamics: a novel enhanced screening protocol
BACKGROUND Prenatal cardiac screening is of great importance as it contributes to appropriate neonatal management and helps parents to make a decision regarding their pregnancy. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficiency of a newly proposed screening protocol in the detection of fetal congenital heart disease (CHD). METHODS This was a prospective study. A total of 52 cases of confirm...
متن کاملScreening for Fetal Aneuploidy
Aneuploidy is defined as having one or more extra or missing chromosomes, leading to an unbalanced chromosome number in a cell. Because each chromosome consists of hundreds of genes, the loss or gain of large chromosomal segments disrupts significant amounts of genetic material and often results in a nonviable pregnancy or offspring that may not survive after birth. In the case of a surviving n...
متن کاملSonographic anatomy of the fetal cerebral ventricles, with reference to the early diagnosis of hydrocephaly.
Real time ultrasound was used to evaluate the anatomy of the fetal brain at different gestational ages. Anatomical correlation with the gross brain was utilized for more accurate identification of the neuroanatomical structures. The normal growth of the ventricular system was studied. Transaxial measurements of the anterior horn (AH) and maximum ventricular length (MVL) and width (MVW) were mad...
