P04.22: Case report: diagnosis of 3 cases of anencephaly/exencephaly at 8–10 weeks

Abstract

Electronic poster abstracts overload, whereas if diagnosed after 2 years old, can manifest as hydrocephalus, focal neurologic defects, headaches, seizures or hemorrhage. When the diagnosis is perinatal, prognosis is not good, especially if accompanied by heart failure, so that permanent neurological damage or death are frequent events, produced by the disturbances caused by the fistula, or as a result of treatment, usually posnatal embolization of the lesion. The intrauterine treatment does not exist. We present a case of NGPAVF diagnosed in the 25th week of gestation. This vascular malformation produced intrauterine death five weeks later by congestive heart failure. We provide ultrasound and magnetic resonance images.

Diagnosis of Acrania Before 11 Weeks

“…As Miguelez et al [7] described signs of acrania prior to 11 weeks and are abnormal shape of the head in sagittal and coronal sections. The smooth contour of the cranium is lost.…”

Fetal acrania diagnosed at 17 weeks of gestation by 2D/3D ultrasound: a case report and literature review

“…The report included only three cases and the diagnosis was formulated based on the abnormal shape of the head in sagittal and coronal sections. Thus, according to the authors, the elongated, short, irregular, broad on coronal section, lobulated or bilobed embryonic head are very much suggestive for fetal acrania [ 19 ].…”
