AbstractBackgroundSirenomelia, also called mermaid syndrome, is a rare lethal multi-system congenital deformity with an incidence of one in 60,000–70,000 pregnancies. Sirenomelia is mainly characterized by the fusion of lower limbs and is widely associated with severe urogenital and gastrointestinal malformations. The presence of a single umbilical artery derived from the vitelline artery is the main anatomical feature distinguishing sirenomelia from caudal regression syndrome. First-trimester diagnosis of this disorder and induced abortion may be the safest medical option. In this report, two cases of sirenomelia that occurred in an white family will be discussed.Case presentationWe report two white cases of sirenomelia occurring in a 31-year-old multigravid pregnant woman. In the first pregnancy (18 weeks of gestation) abortion was performed, but in the third pregnancy (32 weeks) the stillborn baby was delivered by spontaneous vaginal birth. In the second and fourth pregnancies, however, she gave birth to normal babies. Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging showed fusion of the lower limbs. Neither she nor any member of her family had a history of diabetes. In terms of other risk factors, she had no history of exposure to teratogenic agents during her pregnancy. Also, her marriage was non-consanguineous.ConclusionThis report suggests the existence of a genetic background in this mother with a Mendelian inheritance pattern of 50% second-generation incidence in her offspring.

AbstractRecent development of three-dimensional (3D) high definition (HD) ultrasound has resulted in remarkable progress in visualization of early embryos and fetuses in sonoembryology. The new technology of HDlive assesses both structural and functional developments in the first trimester with greater reliably than two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound. The ability to visualize not only fetal face, hands, fingers, feet, and toes, but also amniotic membranes, is better with volumetric ultrasound than 2D ultrasound. In this article, detailed and comprehensive structures of normal and abnormal fetuses depicted by 3D HDlive are presented, including various faces of Down’s syndrome and holoprosencephaly, as well as low-set ear and finger/toe abnormalities from the first trimester. Three-dimensional HDlive further “humanizes” the fetus, enables detailed observation of the fetal face in the first trimester as shown in this article, and reveals that a small fetus is not more a fetus but a “person” from the first trimester. There has been an immense acceleration in understanding of early human development. The anatomy and physiology of embryonic development is a field where medicine exerts greatest impact on early pregnancy at present, and it opens fascinating aspects of embryonic differentiation. Clinical assessment of those stages of growth relies heavily on 3D/four-dimensional (4D) HDlive, one of the most promising forms of noninvasive diagnostics and embryological phenomena, once matters for textbooks are now routinely recorded with outstanding clarity. New advances deserve the adjective “breathtaking”, including 4D parallel study of the structural and functional early human development.

AbstractAim of work:To determine whether fetal volume (FV) measured by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound was able to detect fetuses at risk of low birth weight (primary outcome) and/or preterm labor (secondary outcome).Methods:One hundred pregnant women carrying a singleton living pregnancy who were sure of dates, and had a dating scan, with gestational age between 11 weeks and 13 weeks+6 days coming for routine first trimester nuchal translucency (NT) were examined by both two-dimensional (2D) and 3D ultrasound (Vocal System) for crown-rump length (CRL) and FV then followed up regularly every 4 weeks until 28 weeks then biweekly until 36 weeks then weekly until delivery both clinically and by ultrasound biometry.Findings:Eighty-seven cases had a normal outcome, while the remaining 13 cases had either preterm labor (four cases) or low-birth weight (nine cases). FV positively correlated with CRL (P=0.026), gestational age in weeks (P=0.002), neonatal body weight in grams (P=0.018) and neonatal body length at birth (P=0.04). A mean FV of 8.3 mmConclusion:3D assessment of FV in the first trimester provides an accurate method for predicting pregnancy outcome namely low birth weight and neonatal complications, however, it is a better positive predictor than a negative one.

Abstract Objectives Antenatal detection of acrania-exencephaly-anencephaly (AEA) sequence beyond 10 completed weeks of gestation is usually straight-forward. An earlier detection and classification of the causative conditions prior to disaggregation of exposed dysplastic brain tissue remains challenging. Case presentation We present two- and three-dimensional ultrasound correlated with fetoscopic findings of an unusual type of neural tube defect at 11 gestational weeks caused by an amniotic constriction ring resulting in cystic degeneration of the developing skull. Conclusions By giving further illustrative insights into early defective brain development, this report confirms recent findings of an unusual subtype of acrania-exencephaly-anencephaly sequence suggesting early disruption of the developing brain, following an amniotic entrapment of the skull.

As part of the population-based prenatal screening of 900 pregnant women, who underwent 1st trimester screening at the RPMC “Mother and Child” in 2018–2019, an ultrasound scan of the fetal palate was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of new ultrasound markers in detecting orofacial clefts (OFC). Fetal palatal defects were screened at a 2D assessment of bone markers of the palate – the image of the palatal line in the sagittal section, the retronasal triangle in the coronary section, the alveolar arch of the upper jaw in the axial section. If a palate abnormality was detected or suspected in the 2D study, the fetal palate was evaluated using the 3D mode. In 50 pregnant women of the control group, 3D sonography of the fetal palate was performed in the norm. In total, during the gestation period of 10+5–12+5 weeks, 10 cases of OFC were detected, of which 1 case was a median lip/palate cleft (LPC), 6 — bilateral LPC, 1 — left-sided LPC, 1 — unspecified LPC, 1 — PC. Visualization of 2D ultrasound markers was possible in 9 cases of palate anomalies, 3D assessment worked out in all 10 cases. In all identified OFC cases, cytogenetic and/or pathomorphological studies were performed.
