Advances in medical imaging have led to an improvement in prenatal diagnosis of congenital anomalies. This has been made possible through the incorporation of new ultrasound technologies, use of doppler and real time imaging. These have resulted in improvement in resolution and quality of ultrasound images. Concurrent use l Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in fetal imaging has resulted in bette...

Fetal surgery has become a clinical reality, with interventions for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and spina bifida demonstrated to improve outcome. Fetal imaging is evolving, with the use of 3D ultrasound and fetal MRI becoming more common in clinical practise. Medical imaging analysis is also changing, with technology being developed to assist surgeons by creating 3D virtual models ...

OBJECTIVE Fetal hyperchogenic bowel is associated with a variety of conditions, the incidence of which has yet to be studied. STUDY DESIGN The outcomes of 182 cases of fetal hyperechogenic bowel were reviewed. Screening for maternal toxoplasmosis, fetal karyotyping, and amniotic fluid digestive enzyme assays were performed in all cases. Eight mutations associated with cystic fibrosis were ana...

Neonatal ovarian cysts (NOC) are usually self-limiting structures, however, large or complex cysts may lead to severe complications. Unfortunately, no standard guidelines have been introduced for the management, treatment and follow-up of these cysts. In this report, we aimed to introduce a very large NOC without any pre- and post-natal complications. A 30 year-old mother, gravida 2, para 2, wi...

OBJECTIVE Congenital cystic lung lesions associated with fetal hydrops and polyhydramnios are rare, and reported to have greater than 50% mortality, can this be reversed? To propose a period of pulmonary stabilisation and delayed surgery for neonates with congenital cystic lung lesions and pulmonary hypertension. RESULTS Four neonates with antenatal diagnosed congenital cystic lung lesions wi...

CONTEXT Hindbrain herniation occurs in a large percentage of children with myelomeningocele and is the leading cause of death in this population. The effect of early fetal closure of myelomeningocele on hindbrain herniation is unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine whether early fetal closure of myelomeningocele affects hindbrain herniation. DESIGN Case series of patients undergoing fetal myelomen...
