Sonographic findings of cerebral arteriovenous malformations in the fetus are uncommon and usually regard aneurysm of the Galen vein. Outcome of arteriovenous malformations is usually severe. We report a case of a fetus at 21 weeks’ gestation with a rarer arteriovenous malformation, referred to us for echocardiography on account of a suspicious cardiomegaly at obstetrical scan. Upon examination, we found cardiomegaly, together with an associated moderate tricuspid regurgitation, however, there were no clear features of tricuspid dysplasia. Considering an unusually dilated superior vena cava, we found via color Doppler imaging a systodiastolic flow at Color Doppler progressing. Subsequent MRI of the central nervous system determined the localization in the sinus dura mater. Due to an already evident hemodynamic impact, the parents opted for the termination of the pregnancy. Autopsy confirmed a voluminous arteriovenous malformation of the transverse sinus of the dura mater, severe cardiomegaly, mainly of the ventricles, and hypoplasia of the lungs.

We report the successful diagnostic and observational treatment of a renal arteriovenous malformation (RAVM) diagnosed with point-of-care color Doppler imaging. The patient presented with clinical symptoms suggestive of hydronephrosis. A physician-performed point-of-care sonography demonstrated gray-scale imaging that initially appeared to confirm renal pelvis dilatation. However, the addition of color Doppler revealed color blooming resembling a vascular turbulence within the kidney and the renal pelvis. A computed tomography angiogram was used to confirm the diagnosis of RAVM as the etiology of renal pelvic dilation. This case highlights the potential value of using color Doppler as a standard component for physicians who evaluate patients believed to have hydronephrosis.

A preterm infant presented with high-output cardiac failure. Color Doppler imaging of the liver revealed a large hepatic hemangioma. Pulsed-wave Doppler of the proximal aorta was used to monitor non-invasively the reduction in flow through the arteriovenous malformation in response to steroid therapy. The hemangioma resolved completely by 7 weeks of age.
