The intracranial translucency (IT) is a recently introduced marker of open spina bifida (OSB). In this study, we describe a case of a fetus affected by Blake’s pouch cyst which showed alterations of BS/BSOB ratio at the first trimester screening.

Open Spina Bifida

Introduction: Our aim was to examine the value of indirect signs of open spina bifida in the mid-sagittal view of the posterior brain at the 11-13 weeks' ultrasound examination and to summarize the current evidence for the first-trimester diagnosis of spina bifida. Methods: This was a prospective study in routine obstetric population. The presence of four almost parallel lines (four-line view) in the posterior brain was recorded. Biparietal diameter (BPD), intracranial translucency (IT) and cisterna magna (CM) were measured. The ratio of IT to CM (R ratio) was calculated. Results: 2,491 pregnancies were examined prospectively. Updated reference ranges for IT and CM were constructed. There were 3 cases with open spina bifida, and the four-line view was abnormal in 2 of them. The abnormal fetuses had smaller BPD as well as pronounced reduction in the CM and increase in the R ratio. Discussion: Examination of the posterior brain was feasible in all fetuses in the setting of the routine 11-13 weeks' ultrasound examination. Indirect signs of spina bifida are visible in the mid-sagittal view of the posterior brain, and the assessment of these structures can be a reliable tool in the early identification of this abnormality.

Open Spina Bifida

Spina bifida is the one of the most common severe congenital abnormality of the central nervous system. Scalloping of the frontal bones called “the lemon sign” and caudal displacement of the cerebellum called “the banana sign” are known as cranial signs of open spina bifida on ultrasonography at the second trimester. Although these signs are useful methods in diagnosing of open spina bifida in the second trimester, detection rates of open spina bifida by using these signs in the first trimester are low. Intracranial translucency is a new sonographic landmark that may be valuable for the early detection of open spina bifida in the first trimester. In this study using of intracranial translucency as a sonographic marker of open spina bifida at first trimester is discussed with the light of recent literature.
