Although uncommon, monoamniotic associated high antenatal perinatal morbidity mortality. We present here a series of three cases twin gestations fetal complications who delivered in our hospital over period one month.

OBJECTIVES There is significant variation in cut-off values for mean gestational sac diameter (MSD) and embryo crown-rump length (CRL) used to define miscarriage, values suggested in the literature ranging from 13 to 25 mm for MSD and from 3 to 8 mm for CRL. We aimed to define the false-positive rate (FPR) for the diagnosis of miscarriage associated with different CRL and MSD measurements with ...

BACKGROUND Treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is controversial. The objective of this study was to report our successful experience in the medical treatment of CSP with potassium chloride (KCl) and methotrexate. CASE This is a case series of six patients between 6-12 gestational weeks with the diagnosis of CSP. In five cases the fetus was alive and in one case, despite being at a gest...

STUDY QUESTION Does a logistic regression model and scoring system to predict viability of an intrauterine pregnancy of uncertain viability (PUV) perform as well in an independent patient group as the original patient group? SUMMARY ANSWER The model and scoring system showed good performance on external validation confirming their value for the prediction of miscarriage/viability in PUV patie...

Molar pregnancy is an abnormal growth of trophoblastic tissue in the uterus. It can be either complete or partial. In moles, development fetus absent, while partial moles contain gestational sac. Choriocarcinoma a malignant form that arise from molar tissue. Hydatiform mole and choriocarcinoma are rare complicated diseases with numerous pathological conditions lead to significant kidney damage....

OBJECTIVE To assess whether extremes in nuchal translucency (NT) thickness measurements at 11-14 weeks of gestation are preceded by departures from normal in early ultrasound biometry or embryonic heart rate in euploid fetuses. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of data from women with singleton pregnancies examined in early pregnancy between June 2002 and January 2003, who subsequentl...
