Distinctive imaging characteristics are observed in cases of CH with US findings of visible vessels and calcifications statistically significant.

Objectives To investigate the correlation between fetal lung volume (FLV), measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and postnatal mortality in newborns with prenatally diagnosed isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Methods

Figure 2 Axial true-FISP section demonstrating fetal cardiac ventricular morphology: the most anterior ventricle is the embryological right one, with a trabeculated septal wall (arrow), and the most posterior is the embryological left one, with a smooth septal wall.

DW-MRI performed both at baseline and mid-course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is an efficient method to predict further histological response of osteosarcoma. This method could be used as an early prognostic factor to monitor preoperative chemotherapy.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and the nature of associated anomalies, especially malformations and chromosome abnormalities, in a population of fetuses with an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA). Materials and Methods: This is a 7-year descriptive study. All patients whose fetus had an ARSA diagnosed by ultrasound performed during the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd trimester of pregnancy were included, regardless of their risk of chromosomal abnormalities. Results: Between May 2007 and April 2014, an ARSA was diagnosed in 120 fetuses. The outcome was found in 108 cases (90%). ARSA was an isolated finding in 54/108 cases (50%). In 20% (22/108) of the fetuses, chromosomal abnormalities were detected. No chromosomal abnormalities were found in fetuses with an isolated ARSA. 82% (18/22) of chromosomal abnormalities were usual, such as trisomies 21 and 18, monosomy X, and 22q11.2 deletion. 21% (23/108) of the fetuses presenting an ARSA were associated with having a congenital heart disease. Conclusion: The presence of an isolated ARSA is a condition rarely associated with a chromosomal abnormality. The decision to perform an invasive karyotyping procedure under such circumstances or not may be made according to the principle of parental autonomy after extensive counselling and mostly a thorough assessment of the fetus.
