Above. Omphalocele. Umbilical cord insertion as demonstrated by color Doppler.
Above. Omphalocele. Note large omphalocele sac and membrane. Liver is within the omphalocele.
Above. Omphalocele. Transverse omphalocele sac membrane and liver within the omphalocele.
Above. Omphalocele. Abdomen is to the left side of the image. The stomach is partially within the omphalocele.
Above. Omphalocele. Omphalocele with umbilical cord insertion onto the covering membrane.
Above. Omphalocele. Omphalocele with abdomen on the left side of the image and the stomach remains within the abdomen.
Above. Omphalocele. Color Doppler in initial frames and color power Doppler in later frames showing umbilical cord insertion onto the omphalocele at 17 weeks gestation.
Above. Duodenal atresia. 21 5/7 weeks gestation. Large fetal stomach.
Above. Duodenal atresia. 21 5/7 weeks gestation. “Double bubble” sign.
Above. Duodenal atresia. 21 5/7 weeks gestation. “Double bubble” sign.
Above. Duodenal atresia. 30 5/7 weeks gestation. Trisomy 21 Fetus. Fetus with duodenal atresia and AV canal defect.
Above. Limb body wall complex. 22.0 weeks. Heart is displaced inferiorly into large anterior abdominal wall defect.
Above. Limb body wall complex. 22.0 weeks. Again, large anterior wall defect with viscera attached to the placenta.
Above. Limb body wall complex. 20.1 weeks. Spine is angulated and distorted. It is difficult to obtain longitudinal views of the spine.
Above. Limb body wall complex. 20.1 weeks. The umbilical cord is short and contains a single artery.
Above. Limb body wall complex. 22.0 weeks. Another demonstration of the herniated viscera’s attachment to the placenta.
Above. Large mesenteric cyst. Case 1. Video 1. 33 1/7 weeks. Cyst moves in relationship to maternal movement.
Above. Large mesenteric cyst. Case 1. Video 2. 33 1/7 weeks. Large mesenteric cyst not attached to the stomach or kidneys.
Above. Large mesenteric cyst. Case 1. Video 3. 33 1/7 weeks. The cyst is not attached to the stomach or kidneys.
Above. Large mesenteric cyst. Case 1. Video 4. 33 1/7 weeks. Another view of the cyst demonstrating sediment.
Above. Abdominal cyst. Case 2. Video 1. 28 3/7 weeks. Cyst is located in the right upper quadrant of the fetal abdomen.
Above. Abdominal cyst. Case 2. Video 2. 28 3/7 weeks. The cyst extends inferiorly displacing the right kidney, which suggests a retroperitoneal location.
Above. Abdominal cyst. Case 2. Video 3. 28 3/7 weeks. Note close relationship of the cyst to the fetal spine. Retroperitoneal location was suggested by MRI. Not likely a mesenteric cyst, but possibly a duplication cyst.
Above. Ovarian cyst. Case 1. Video 1. 29 4/7 weeks. Pelvic location of cyst near bladder in female fetus.
Above. Ovarian cyst. Case 1. Video 2. 29 4/7 weeks. Color Doppler flow to the cyst is demonstrated. Cyst was confirmed as ovarian post delivery.
Above. Ovarian cyst. Case 2. Video 1. 35 weeks. Large pelvic cyst. Note the relationship to the fetal bladder.
Above. Ovarian cyst. Case 2. Video 2. 35 weeks. The cyst extends superiorly to the fetal stomach, but is separate.
Above. Ovarian cyst. Case 2. Video 3. 35 weeks. Again, superior extension of cyst which is separate from bladder, kidney, and stomach. Cyst was confirmed as ovarian post delivery.
Above. Urachal cyst. Color Doppler of urachal cyst demonstrating no flow within the cyst and confirming the anechoic nature of the cyst. Real time ultrasound confirmed connection with the bladder.
Above. Pentalogy of Cantrell. 34 6/7 weeks gestation. Ectopic heart secondary to lower sternum defect.
Above. Pentalogy of Cantrell. 34 6/7 weeks gestation. Ectopic heart with VSD (ventricular septal defect).
Above. Pentalogy of Cantrell. 34 6/7 weeks gestation. Note omphalocele with hepatic vessels. The cord insertion is noted at the end of the clip.
Above. Pentalogy of Cantrell. 34 6/7 weeks gestation. Bowel and liver are outside of the abdomen.
Intra-abdominal calcification.
Above. Diffuse intra-abdominal calcification. Etiologies as previously discussed. Calcification is less focal and intense. May represent swallowed fetal blood.
Above. Intra-abdominal califications are more focal. Possibilities include fetal infection. There is no bowel dilatation to suggest meconium peritonitis.
Above. Large sacrococcgeal teratoma (SCT). Large sacrococcgeal teratoma with mixed solid and cystic elements.
Above. Large sacrococcygeal teratoma. This tumor has a vascular component creating a risk for arteriovenous shunt, fetal anemia, and resultant fetal hydrops.
Above. Sacrococcygeal teratoma. Same patient as above demonstrating fetal hydrops. Note ascites (A), Liver (L), and Bowel (B).
Above. Sacrococcygeal teratoma. Note cardiac enlargement with the heart filling the predominant portion of the fetal chest.
Above. Sacrococcygeal teratoma. Type 1 (No tumor extension to the abdomen). This is an example of a predominantly cystic type.
Above. Sacrococcygeal teratoma. Same patient as above. No fetal hydrops and there was an uneventful neonatal resection of the tumor.
