ABSTRACT Obstetric ultrasound is unlike any other form of medical imaging. The expectations of the provider performing the ultrasound are dramatically different from those of the woman receiving the ultrasound. Ultrasound providers are often put into situations where the practice of medicine is superseded by expectations of a pregnant woman and her family who see themselves as consumers of ‘medictainment’ rather than patients. Women come to obstetric ultrasound with the primary expectation to hear the simple news that their baby is normal and most wish to know the fetal sex as a secondary piece of information. They would also like to have information ahead of time about what to expect from an ultrasound examination experience. Ultrasound physicians are charged with the task of identifying something wrong, providing a definitive diagnosis, and communicating it in a balanced and relatively unemotional manner, while at the same time being beneficent and respectful of patient autonomy. Patients may not want to find out that something is wrong, but when there is, they want direct, compassionate communication, and a plan of action. How to cite this article Bartholomew ML.

Live Fetus

A twenty-year-old second gravida presented to the department of radiodiagnosis for routine obstetric ultrasound examination. Ultrasonography revealed a live fetus of 17 weeks with absent falx, fused thalami, monoventricle, proboscis, and cyclopia. Fetal MRI was performed and the findings were confirmed. Even though ultrasonography is diagnostic in the detection of fetal anomalies, MRI plays a vital role due to its multiplanar capability and excellent soft tissue resolution. The importance of presenting this classical case of alobar holoprosencephaly is to sensitize the clinicians and radiologists to the imaging manifestations of holoprosencephaly and to stress the importance of early diagnosis. If diagnosed in utero at an early stage of pregnancy, termination can be performed and maternal psychological trauma of bearing a deformed fetus can be avoided.

Pelvic Cyst

Anterior sacral meningocele is characterized by herniation of the meningeal sac due to a developmental bone defect in the front of a sacrum bone. It was first described in 1837. The sacral meningocele may be congenital or acquired. It is usually discovered during a rectal or pelvic examination as a cystic lesion or discovered incidentally. Most of the symptoms are due to compression on the adjacent organs. In this paper, we present a case of an asymptomatic female patient who had a pelvic cyst detected during a routine obstetric ultrasound examination. We show radiological findings of the detailed postpartum evaluation of the cyst, which led to detection of sacral agenesis, huge anterior sacral meningocele, and significant arcuate uterus.
