1. Homozygous α-thalassaemia-1 can be predicted reliably using ultrasound measurement of the foetal cardiothoracic ratio at 12 to 13 weeks’ gestation, but not at 10 to 11 weeks’ gestation. 2. When an optimal foetal cardiothoracic ratio cannot be obtained with an abdominal ultrasound examination at 12 to 13 weeks’ gestation, a vaginal ultrasound examination is useful. 3. The use of ultrasonograp...

Intra-urethral Prolene tape erosion is a rare postoperative complication of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) plasty. In cases reported in the literature, intra-urethral tape positioning has been diagnosed by urethroscopy as late as 3-12 months after the procedure. Introital ultrasound using a vaginal sector scanner allows for the non-invasive assessment of the position of the Prolene tape in rel...
