Background: Gestational Age (GA) is one of the most imperative parameters required for proper management in pregnancy. Routinely GA is estimated by sonography utilising Biparietal Diameter (BPD), Femur Length (FL), Abdominal Circumference (AC) and Head Circumference (HC). In any case, these parameters have some limitations. Hence, there is need to find other parameters that may complement the established fetal biometric parameters in predicting GA. The objective of the present study was to assess placental thickness in second and third trimester pregnancies and its relationship with fetal gestational age and its role in detecting LBW and IUGRMethods: A cross sectional prospective study was carried out in three hundred pregnant women between 13 to 40 weeks of gestation, who came for routine antenatal sonography. Placental thickness was measured along with routine parameters. Placental thickness was measured at the level of umbilical cord insertion by two-dimensional ultrasonography.Results: Correlation between the GA by LMP and Placental thickness by ultrasound was done by using Karl Pearson's Correlation(r). The values were expressed as mean + standard deviation. Correlation between placental thickness and gestational age was statistically significant as p value is <0.01. Placental thickness measured in millimetres increases with gestational age in second and third trimester.Conclusions: The correlation between the placental thickness and gestational age was linear and direct. Therefore, Placental thickness is used as a predictor for estimation of gestational age of the fetus in cases where LMP is not known and in detecting developing IUGR and low birth weight.

Prune belly syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the absence of anterior abdominal wall muscles, bilateral cryptorchidism, and urinary tract malformations. The aim of this case study was to illustrate the developmental sequelae of prune belly syndrome, acquired through a series of antenatal sonography. A 20-year-old woman visited a diagnostic medical sonography center for an obstetrical sonogram. Her fetus was diagnosed with megacystis at 15 weeks’ gestation. The mother returned for repeated appointment and to observe fetal changes during the development of prune belly syndrome. First, the megacystis, hydroureter, and hydronephrosis were noted followed by hazy ascitic and amniotic fluid. The hemodynamics were altered in the umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery, and ductus venosus. Subsequently, the pressure was neutralized, but it was observed after birth that the newborn had cryptorchidism, a distended abdomen with wrinkled wall, and absent right kidney. In conclusion, prune belly syndrome could be caused by megacystis due to bladder outlet obstruction in otherwise normal karyotype fetuses. Megacystis leads to hydroureter, hydronephrosis, and abdominal distention. The persistent abdominal distention gives rise to the underdevelopment of anterior abdominal wall muscles and cryptorchidism.

Background: Intellectual developmental disorder with cardiac defects and dysmorphic facies (IDDCDF, MIM 618316) is a newly described disorder. It is characterized by global developmental delay, intellectual disability and speech delay, congenital cardiac malformations, and dysmorphic facial features. Biallelic pathogenic variants of TMEM94 are associated with IDDCDF. Methods and Results: In a prenatal setting, where fetal abnormalities were detected using antenatal sonography, we used trio-exome sequencing (trio-ES) in conjunction with chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) to identify two novel homozygous loss of function variants in the TMEM94 gene (c.606dupG and c.2729-2A>G) in two unrelated Saudi Arabian families. Conclusions: This study provides confirmation that TMEM94 variants may cause IDDCDF. For the first time we describe the pathogenicity of TMEM94 defects detected during the prenatal period.
