Abstract Background This case report is to show the details of the face of a very rare ethmocephaly at 14 weeks of gestation. Case presentation After the regular transabdominal two-dimensional (2D) scan for nuchal translucency we could describe the following malformations: holoprosencephaly, proboscis and an abnormal face, omphalocele containing bowel, hyperechoic kidneys and megacystis. In addition, we acquired transvaginal three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound volume blocks of the fetal head, scanned with different insonation angles and stored them for later analysis. Using the multiplanar mode the volume blocks taken from the front show all details of the face: proboscis, hypotelorism, microphthalmia, cleft palate, accelerated development of the frontal bones and premature closure of the metopic suture. The volume blocks taken through the squamosal suture show all details of the fossa posterior and brain: fused thalami surrounded by the typical monoventricle, normal brain stem, elongation of anterior membranous area. Render mode shows a precise 3D image of the face. To better demonstrate the changes of the fetal face a post-mortem photo of the fetal face is included. Conclusion This case report can demonstarte the typical changes of ethmocephaly in the first trimester using transvaginal 3D scan.

Abstract Background Exposure to bisphenols may affect fetal growth and development. The trimester-specific effects of bisphenols on repeated measures of fetal growth remain unknown. Our objective was to assess the associations of maternal bisphenol urine concentrations with fetal growth measures and birth outcomes and identify potential critical exposure periods. Methods In a population-based prospective cohort study among 1379 pregnant women, we measured maternal bisphenol A, S and F urine concentrations in the first, second and third trimester. Fetal head circumference, length and weight were measured in the second and third trimester by ultrasound and at birth. Results An interquartile range increase in maternal pregnancy-averaged bisphenol S concentrations was associated with larger fetal head circumference (difference 0.18 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.01 to 0.34) standard deviation scores (SDS), p-value< 0.05) across pregnancy. When focusing on specific critical exposure periods, any detection of first trimester bisphenol S was associated with larger second and third trimester fetal head circumference (difference 0.15 (95% CI 0.05 to 0.26) and 0.12 (95% CI 0.02 to 0.23) SDS, respectively) and fetal weight (difference 0.12 (95% CI 0.02 to 0.22) and 0.16 (95% CI 0.06 to 0.26) SDS, respectively). The other bisphenols were not consistently associated with fetal growth outcomes. Any detection of bisphenol S and bisphenol F in first trimester was also associated with a lower risk of being born small size for gestational age (Odds Ratio 0.56 (95% CI 0.38 to 0.74) and 0.55 (95% CI 0.36 to 0.85), respectively). Bisphenols were not associated with risk of preterm birth. Conclusions Higher maternal bisphenol S urine concentrations, especially in the first trimester, seem to be related with larger fetal head circumference, higher weight and a lower risk of being small size for gestational age at birth.
