ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the position of the fetal conus medullaris during pregnancy and its value in detecting tethered cord syndrome(TCS). Methods Nine hundred and seventy-four normal fetuses and 46 fetuses with TCS between 15 and 41 weeks gestation were involved in the study.Parameters D 1 (the distance between the end of the conus medullaris and the caudal edge of last vertebral body ossification center) and D2 (the distance from the end of the conus medullaris to the caudal skin namely the intersection point of the extending line of D1 and the skin) were measured in the caudal midsagittal plane of the spine. Sixty normal fetuses were chosed randomly for interobserver variability.Correlation analysis between these two parameters and gestational age(GA) were conducted and the normal reference value of these parameters were calculated in normal group. The ratios of growth parameters ( Biparietal diameter, Head circumference,Abdominal circumference,Femur length) to D1 and D2 were calculated separately to observe the difference of the ratios between two groups. All the parameters and ratios of normal fetuses were compared with that of TCS cases.Results There was no significant difference in D1 and D2 between two observers.A significant linear correlation between the parameters and GA was found in normal group,linear regression equations were D1=0.251 GA -2.265 cm (R2=0.926,P <0.01) and D2=0.267 GA -1.812 cm(R2=0.928,P <0.01),respectively.D1 and D2 were much lower in normal group than in abnormal group (all P <0.01). The ratios of the growth parameters to D1 and D2 were relatively stable and had statistically differences between two groups in different gestational age. Conclusions The methods that determination of D1 and D2 are simple and feasible,and could help to the prenatal diagnosis of TCS.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical value of evaluation of fetal cardiac function in congenital heart disease by brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and velocity vector imaging (VVI). Methods Fetuses who came from Shenzhen Maternity & Child healthcare Hospital were divided into the congenital heart disease group and the control group. At the same time we collected amniotic fluid and assayed BNP concentration. Using the VVI software, the velocity, strain and strain rate of the global and segmental of the left ventricle were measured. Comparison and correlation were made between the two groups. Results There was significantly difference of BNP concentrations in amniotic fluid between two groups. The gestational age had significant positive correlation with BNP concentrations in disease group. The comparison of global velocity, strain and strain rate of left ventricle between the two groups showed significant differences. All of the left ventricular dynamic parameters in disease group were lower than those of the control group. Conclusions Compared with the control group, the disease group had a high level of BNP in amniotic fluid and a lower level of dynamic parameters of left ventricular. There was a positive correlation between BNP concentration and gestational age in disease group. So we can conclude that theBNP concentration can be a biological parameter for evaluating the latent impairments of fetal cardiac function.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical value of acoustic radiation forcs impulse (ARFI)in quantitative evaluating placental elasticity.Methods The study population included 487 normal pregnant women,and ARFI generated shear wave velocity (SWV)was measured.On the basis of gestational ages, placental sites and sampling depths in region of interest (ROI),the normal population was divided into different groups.One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the discrepancy on the SWV values amomg the nomal placental sites or the sampling depths in ROI.Pearson correlation coefficient were used to assess the possible relationships between the normal placental SWV values and the different gestational ages or the placental grades.A total of 5 1 cases were diagnosed with severe preeclampsia,among them 25 cases were categorized as severe preeclampsia with fetal growth restriction (FGR).The placental SWV values were measured and compared with those of the normal population.The pathological examinations were performed on 50 normal and 5 1 abnormal placentas.Results Basing on the placental sites,the normal population were divided into three groups:anterior wall,lateral wall and posterior wall groups.Compared with the posterior wall group,the placental SWV values in the anterior wall or lateral wall group significantly decreased (P <0.05).No statistical significant difference was found between the anterior wall group and the lateral wall group.Basing on the distance from the sampling depths to the probe (range from 2 to 7.99 cm,and each additional 1 cm corresponding a group),the normal population were divided into six groups.There was statistical significant difference for the placental SWV values between the two groups of distance in the range of 2.0 to 5.99 cm and 6.0 to 7.99 cm (P <0.05).There was no statistical significant difference between the other two groups.The mean SWV value was (0.78±0.08 m/s)in the normal group. No significant relationships were found between the placental SWV values and the gestational ages of the normal population.However the placental SWV values were significantly related to the placental grades.For the placental SWV values,there was statistical significant difference between the normal group and the abnormal group (P <0.05).No statistical significant difference was found between the severe preeclampsia group and the severe preeclampsia with FGR group.The pathological examinations also showed significant changes in the abnormal group.Conclusions ARFI may quantitatively analyze the placental elasticity and make a difference between nomal and abnormal placenta.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo summarize prenatal ultrasound image features of Cantrell′s syndrome (Cantrell′s pentalogy).MethodsFrom January 2007 to December 2013 in Shenzhen Maternity & Child Healthcare Hospital, there were twenty cases diagnosed and conifrmed by postmortem as Cantrell′s syndrome. The prenatal ultrasound image features and outcomes were analyzed.ResultsAmong the twenty cases, eighteen were singleton and two were twins with the other normal fetus. Prenatal ultrasound image: two obvious ultrasound image features of ectopic heart and hight omphalocele (seventeen cases) or gastroschisis (three cases) were appeared in prenatal ultrasound of twenty cases. Fourteen cases were complete ectopic heart (Ectopic heart was located within the omphalocele in one case, ectopic heart was completely exposed in amniotic lfuid in thirteen cases), six cases were incomplete ectopic heart, three cases were ventricular septal defect in which one was associated with pulmonary stenosis, two cases were single atrium and single ventricle in which one was associated with a single arterial trunk, one case was tetralogy of Fallot, and six cases were without signiifcant heart abnormalities. Associated with other abnormalities: seventeen cases were associated with other abnormalities in twenty cases, in which eleven cases were spinal abnormalities, nine cases were umbilical cord abnormalities (short umbilical cord in six cases, single umbilical artery in two cases, short umbilical cord associated with single umbilical artery in one case), ifve cases were neurological abnormalities (exencephalia in four cases, encephalocele in one case), four cases were limb abnormalities, three cases were cheilopalatognathus, one case was giant bladder. Three cases weren′t associated with other abnormalities. Nuchal Translucency: in eight cases, nuchal translucency were measured in early pregnancy. Nuchal translucency of ifve cases were thick, one case was cervical hygroma in one of the two twins. Chromosome examination results: only three cases had chromosome examination in twenty cases, in which one case was trisomy 21, another two were chromosome normal. Fetal outcome and examination results: in twenty cases, one of the two twins can′t survive after birth, and the other one of two twins was reduced in intrauterine, so the specimen could not be obtained. Eighteen cases of singleton underwent labor induction. The results of postmortem appearance (nineteen cases) and autopsies (ifve cases) were all consistent with prenatal ultrasound scan.ConclusionsEctopic heart and hight omphalocele or gastroschisis appearing at the same time was the characteristic of Cantrell′s syndrome in prenatal ultrasound and other abnormalities may be part of the Cantrell′s syndrome spectrum. It is beneift to detect and diagnose Cantrell′s syndrome by prenatal ultrasound in the ifrst trimester.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of ultrasound breast imaging reporting and data system (BI‐RADS) in small solid breast masses with diameter ≤1 cm. Methods The ultrasound features of 230 solid breast masses with diameter ≤ 1 cm were described by ultrasound BI‐RADS, the relationship between ultrasound features, BI‐RADS final assesment and pathology were analyzed. Results Of these 230 masses, 72 (31 3.% ) were pathologically confirmed to be malignant and 158 (68 7.% ) to be benign. The ultrasound BI‐RADS features of mass shape, margin, orientation, posterior acoustic features, and microcalcificaition were significantly different between malignant and benign masses( P < 0.05). Irregular shape, noncircumscribed, nonparallel orientation, postrior shadowing, microcalcifications were regarded as malignant ultrasound features, their positive predictive values(PPV), sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for malignancy were 53 3.% -100%, 2 8.% -75 0.%, 82 3.% -100%, 69 6.% -80 9.%, respectively. One hundred and fifty‐two(66.1% ), 62(27 0.% ), 16(7 0.% ) masses were classified into grade 3, 4, and 5, respectively. The PPV for grade 3, 4 and 5 were 10 5.%, 64 5.%, 100% respectively. Among BI‐RADS grade 3 cases, 87 5.%malignant masses were intraductal carcinoma in situ and special type of invasive cancer, among pathological benign BI‐RADS grade 4 masses, 90 9.% were hyperplasia and intraductal papilloma. Conclusions In small breast masses with diameter ≤ 1 cm, due to the sensitivity of malignant signs are not high, the overlap between signs of benign and malignant lesions, pathological type and other factors, the positive predictive value of BI‐RADS grade 3 is higher than criteria of American College of Radiology, so BI‐RADS classification requires further detailed study.

ABSTRACT

Objective To determine sonographic features and outcome of fetal lung abnormal lesions. Methods Blood supply of the lesion, fetus hydrops and other extra-lung anomalies should be evaluated by color Doppler flow image(CDFI) when abnormal lesion was detected in fetus lung during routine scanning. The fetus with lung abnormal lesion without hydrops at the first time scanning should be monitored by ultrasound in every four to six weeks. Results Forty cases fetus presented lung abnormal lesions, which included 21 cases with hyperechogenic solid masses,15 cases with cystic-solid mixture masses,4 cases with cystic masses. Lesions of 8 cases were demonstrated systemic arterial blood supply arising from the aorta on CDFI and the diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration (PS) were suggested. Seventeen cases lesion that had small size or decreased or disappeared or remained stable in size with gestational age developing had normal neonate. Conclusions CDFI is very useful in detecting abnormal lesion of the fetal lung and differentiating pathology and evaluating the prognosis. The outcome of isolated lung lesion without hydrops and mediastinal shift that decreased or disappeared or remained stable in size had a good prognosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the value of prenatal ultrasonography on fetal forearm and crus malformations by studying the ultrasonographic characteristic in relation to methods of examination. Methods All fetus were evaluated by using a systematic continuous sequence approach (SCSA) with ultrasonography. A close attention was paid on shapes, structures and movement of fetal forearm and crus, and fetus specimens after induced labor were rescanned by ultrasonography under the condition of mimic intra-uterus. Results Thirty of 33 cases (90.9%) with fetal forearm and crus malformations (totally 48 of 54 limb anormalies, 88.9%) were correctly diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography. Six limb malformations of 3 cases were missed. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that the malformations of forearm and crus detected with prenatal ultrasonography are highly accordant with the malformations revealed in fetus in vitro. It is important to abide by the SCSA in ultrasonographic diagnosis of fetal forearm and crus malformation.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of radial ray abnormalities and its clinical value. Methods All the fetus that entered usual prenatal ultrasound diagnosis were scanned each limb using a systematic continuous sequence approach (SCSA) with Acuson Sequoia 512 and GE Logiq 400 equipments. All the artificial aborted fetal radius malformation also had ultrasound examination in a simulating intrauterine estate and /or X-ray examination. Results Correctly diagnosis was made in 13 cases fetal radial ray abnormalities by prenatal ultrasonography following SCSA through the scaning course. All the fetal radial ray abnormalities had radius absence(only one skeleton in the forearm) or radius dysplasia and characteristic radial club hand. Ray abnormalities can be classifyied into three types on ultrasonography: type Ⅰ, radius absence; type Ⅱ,radius part absence; type Ⅲ,radius dysplasia.Conclusions Mastering characteristic radial club hand and SCSA are the keys to diagnose fetal radial ray abnormalities by prenatal ultrasonography.

ABSTRACT

Objective To review the ultrasonographic evaluation on fetal facial anatomy and malformations in prenatal diagnosis. Methods Continuous 4 200 prenatal ultrasonographic evaluation during gestation age 14 40 weeks from August 2000 through June 2002 entered the present study. Routine coronal, sagittal and transverse planes were applied to scan the fetal facial structures after the fetal position was confirmed and/or adjusted. Results Superficial facial anatomic structures as well as the deep bony structures of the fetal faces were clearly displayed and correctly recognized on the three routine planes in 4 184 cases ( 99.62 %), but not the palate. Seventy eight facial malformations of 29 fetuses were correctly diagnosed. Whereas 9 malformations of 7 fetuses were missed to recognize, and 2 suspected cleft palate were demonstrated normal after delivery. The diagnoses were confirmed after subsequent labor or induced labor. The total detection rate reached 89.66 %. The false negative rate was 10.34 %, and the false positive rate was 0.05 %. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values were 85.29 %, 99.95 %, 99.83 %, 93.55 % and 99.88 % respectively. Conclusions The majority of fetal facial superficial and deep structures is clearly demonstrated on prenatal ultrasonic imaging on the 3 routine scanning planes. Prenatal ultrasonographic evaluation of the fetal face is a reliable and accurate diagnostic modality so far as the skills become more sophisticated.
