Spontaneous Resolution of a Fetal Dural Sinus Thrombosis: One Case Report and Review of the Literatures

Prenatal diagnosis and postnatal findings of cloacal malformation: a case report

Introduction: Cloacal malformation is an extremely rare fetal pathological condition but an important anomaly that presents as a variety of defects. It predominantly affects females, with prevalence of 1 in 50,000 births. Prenatal ultrasonography usually showed oligohydramnios and the fetus having a large cystic mass in the lower abdomen with a single septum, bilateral hydronephrosis, ambig...

O-45: Quantification of Cell-Free-Fetal-DNAfrom Maternal Plasma for the First Time in Pakistan:Implications for Non-Invasive PrenatalDiagnosis of Genetic Disorders

Background: Current prenatal diagnosis requires invasive testing which carries a 1-4% procedure-related-risk of miscarriage; hence, non-invasive techniques are desired. The recent demonstration of cell-free-fetal-DNA enriched from maternal plasma has opened new possibilities for non-invasive-prenatal-diagnosis of not only genetic-disorders such as β-thalassaemia and haemophilia but also chromos...

Prenatal Diagnosis of Triploidy in Fetus with Unexpected Chromosomal Translocation of Maternal Origin

Triploidy is a lethal chromosomal abnormality. Foetuses with triploid condition have a tendency to die in early conception and very few survive to term. In this study, we report the prenatal diagnosis of fetal triploidy with unexpected chromosomal translocation. A 27 years old women was referred to our clinical cytogenetic department due to history of previous conceptus with intrauterine growth...
