The Brain

 Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a structural malformation of the brain that results from the complete or incomplete noncleavage of the forebrain/ prosencephalon of the embryo into 2 hemispheres1. We present a case of twenty-five year-old primigravida presented to the Outpatient department of Obstetrics for routine checkup and diagnosed with Alobar holoprosencephaly on 2nd level USG. 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 purpose of publishing this case is to sensitize the clinicians to the classical features of holoprosencephaly on various imaging modalities and to stress the importance of its detection before 20 weeks of gestation so as to allow for legal medical termination and alleviate maternal psychological trauma of bearing a deformed fetus.

Background: Prenatal ultrasound is frequently used to monitor fetal growth and identify fetal anomalies that may suggest genetic or developmental abnormalities which may develop into congenital anomalies and diseases. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, associated with a wide range of congenital anomalies. Nevertheless, very little has been done to investigate organ development using prenatal ultrasound as a means to identify fetuses with ASD susceptibility. Methods: A retrospective matched case-sibling-control study. ASD cases were matched to two control groups: typically developing sibling (TDS) closest in age to ASD child; and typically developing population (TDP), matched for age, sex, and ethnicity. The study comprised 659 children: 229 ASD, 201 TDS, and 229 TDP; 471 (71.5%) males. Results: Ultrasonography fetal anomalies (UFAs) were found in 29.3% of ASD cases vs. only 15.9% and 9.6% in the TDS and TDP groups (aOR=2.23, 95%CI=1.32-3.78, and OR=3.50, 95%CI=2.07- 5.91, respectively). Also, multiple co-occurring UFAs were significantly more prevalent among ASD cases. UFAs in the urinary system, heart, and head&brain were the most significantly associated with ASD diagnosis (aORUrinary =2.08, 95%CI=0.96-4.50 and ORUrinary=2.90, 95%CI=1.41-5.95; aORHeart=3.72, 95%CI=1.50-9.24 and ORHeart=8.67, 95%CI=2.62-28.63; and aORHead&Brain=1.77, 95%CI=0.68-4.64 and ORHead&Brain=6.50, 95%CI=1.47-28.80; vs. TDS and TDP, respectively). ASD fetuses were characterized by a narrower head and a relatively wider ocular-distance vs. TDP fetuses (ORBPD=0.81, 95%CI=0.70-0.94, and aOROcular-Distance=1.29, 95%CI=1.06-1.57). Finally, UFAs were associated with more severe ASD symptoms. Conclusions: Our findings shed important light on the abnormal multiorgan embryonic development of ASD and suggest fetal ultrasonography biomarkers for ASD.

Cns Malformation

Schizencephaly is a rare CNS malformation consisting of a full-thickness CSF filled parenchymal cleft lined by grey matter (3). Schizencephaly can be diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound but requires magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for more specific diagnostic differentiation from other cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) containing structures as well as for detection of associated features (3).

Additional Value

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the additional value of fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the assessment and management of fetuses with abnormal findings on ultrasound. Methods: A total of 257 patients who had fetal MRI following the ultrasound diagnosis of a fetal anomaly, or were at high risk, were included. The patients were grouped by referral category for fetal MRI. Fetal MRI was compared to ultrasound in the detection of anomalies, i.e. whether additional findings were identified and if this changed diagnosis, prognosis and management during pregnancy. Results: Ultrasound findings were confirmed on fetal MRI in 89% of the cases. Additional findings were seen with MRI in 28% of all patients. The diagnosis changed in 21% and the prognosis in 19% of the cases. Perinatal management changed in 8%. The antenatal findings were confirmed in all cases that had a postmortem examination following termination of pregnancy. In all the pregnancies that continued to delivery and for which the postnatal outcome is known, the findings correlated in 97% of the cases. Conclusion: Fetal MRI provided additional detection of fetal anomalies, leading to a change in diagnosis and prognosis in 19% of the cases. Neonatal and postmortem findings mostly confirmed the fetal MRI diagnosis, suggesting it to be a useful tool for clinical decision making in perinatal management.
