Introduction. Pneumocephalus is a clinical entity characterised by the presence of gas in intracranial space. It can result from many different causes. The most common cause head or facial trauma. Other causes include neoplasms, infections, and surgical diagnostic procedures. Spontaneous non-traumatic pneumocephalus rare condition caused bone defects, malformations, tumours, intravenous air inj...

Fetuses with deviations in the normal left versus right weight relationships of the paired viscera were examined for correlation with particular malformations, syndromes, or other common factors. Alterations of the normal pattern were observed among cases with cytogenetic anomalies, diaphragmatic hernia, renal duplication, dyshydramnios, and single umbilical artery. A reversal of the left versu...

Abstract Background Fetal MRI is a valuable supplementary study to the prenatal US in accurate diagnosis of fetal gastrointestinal anomalies and ventral abdominal wall anomalies, which has an impact on postnatal outcome. Aim work To establish additive role identification complex GIT anomalies. Methods This prospective involved 36 pregnant patients with age range from 19 41 years (mean ± SD 27.8...

Pulmonary azygous lobe is one of the common lung malformations. There is only few article about azygous lobe. Its a small accessory lobe sometimes found on the upper part of the right lung, separated from the rest of the upper lobe by a deep groove lodging the ayzygous vein. This reports decribes the presence of azygous lobe, a rare anatomical variant, encounted during chest x-ray discussion. W...

Agenesis of the lung is not an uncommon anomaly, and when it is an isolated finding, it is compatible with even normal life (Hochberg & Naclerio 1955; Netterville 1957; Van Loon & Diamond 1962; Shenoy 1979). Hundreds of cases were reported in the world literature (Oyama et al. 1953; Valle 1955; Booth & Berry 1967; Maltz & Nadas 1968; Borja et al. 1970). Various associated malformations are comm...

Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon disease, accounting for only approximately 1.5% of all congenital pulmonary malformations. In most cases, the diagnosis is a result of accidental radiological findings; it is rarely accompanied by clinical symptoms, and is more commonly associated with other congenital malformations. Herein, we reported a case of pulmonary sequestration presented as massiv...

BACKGROUND Congenital malformations are present in approximately 2-3% of liveborn babies and 20% of stillborn fetuses. The mechanisms underlying the majority of sporadic and isolated congenital malformations are poorly understood, although it is hypothesized that the accumulation of rare genetic, genomic and epigenetic variants converge to deregulate developmental networks.
