In this case we aimed to present use of superb microvascular imaging (SMI) in the discrimination of fetal intracranial mass- haemorrhage with the light of literature. 21 weeks pregnancy woman applied to the clinic for routine obstetrics control. Ultrasonography (US) was applied to the patient. In the gray scale US, intracranial midline a large mass was detected. In the colour doppler (CD), the blood flow (BF) to the mass was not clearly seem. Power doppler (PD) was very artifact. In color SMI (cSMI) and monochrome SMI (mSMI), blood flow (BF) of the mass was seem clearly and fetal intracranial mass was prediagnosed. Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) was performed to determine the location of the mass, brain parenchyma and origin of the mass. Intracranial midline a large mass was detected in fetal MRI too. Although there are cases in the literature regarding the use of SMI in obstetrics, there is no case report in which fetal intracranial mass was evaluated by SMI to our knowledge. In our case; we have detected fetal intracranial mass by gray scale US, and we have evaluated vascularization of the mass by CD, PD, cSMI and mSMI. SMI modes were showing superiority when compared to CD and PD. Vascularization could be seen more clearly by mSMI when compared to cSMI.

Incidence of prune belly syndrome (PBS) has remained stable for several decades; advances have been made in prenatal diagnosis with the aid of advanced US and magnetic resonance technology. Use of fetal MRI as an adjunct to US, especially in the setting of oligohydramnios, anhydramnios, and maternal obesity, makes additional imaging methods potentially beneficial. MRI is currently accepted as a valuable technique for fetal anomalies assessment. Addition of three- and four-dimensional US has improved specificity to the traditional two-dimensional imaging. The following discusses the in utero assessment, neonatal and childhood evaluation, and management of PBS. This review contains 5 figures, 2 tables, and 48 references. Key Words: Eagle-Barrett, fast-scanning MRI, fetal ultrasonography, in utero hydronephrosis, prune belly syndrome, triad syndrome, vesicoamniotic shunt,pediatric renal insufficiency

Objectives: We evaluated the hypothesis that in fetuses with congenital heart disease (CHD) there is a correlation between the expected pattern of in utero brain blood supply and the severity of neurodevelopmental impairment. Methods: A total of 58 fetuses with CHD and 58 controls underwent a Doppler ultrasound and fetal MRI at 36-38 weeks. Fetuses with CHD were divided into two functional classes: class A with an expected severe reduction in oxygenated brain blood supply (left outflow tract obstruction and transposition of great vessels) and class B with theoretically near-normal or mildly impaired oxygenated brain blood supply (other CHD). Head biometry and cerebroplacental Doppler were assessed by ultrasound, and brain volumetry, cortical development and metabolism by MRI. Results: Both class A and B CHD fetuses had significant differences in head biometry, brain perfusion, cortical development and brain metabolism compared with controls. However, there was a significant linear tendency for head biometry, cerebral Doppler, volumes, cortical sulcation and metabolic ratios across the three clinical groups, with signs of more severe brain alterations in type A CHD fetuses. Conclusions: All fetuses with CHD showed significant brain developmental changes, but differences were more pronounced in CHD associated with an expected severe reduction in oxygenated blood supply to the brain.

Ultrastructural alterations of skeletal muscle have been observed in adult chronic alcoholic patients. However, no such study has been performed on individuals prenatally exposed to ethanol. In order to determine if ethanol exposure in utero in the latter stages of muscle development was deleterious, skeletal muscle was obtained from newborn guinea pigs treated in the following manner. Six Hartly strain pregnant guinea pigs were randomly assigned to either the ethanol or the pair-intubated groups. Twice daily the 3 ethanol-treated animals were intubated with Ensure (Ross Laboratories) liquid diet containing 30% ethanol (6g/Kg pre-pregnant body weight per day) from day 35 of gestation until parturition at day 70±1 day. Serum ethanol levels were determined at 1 hour post-intubation by the Sigma alcohol test kit. For pair-intubation the Ensure diet contained sucrose substituted isocalorically for ethanol. Both food and water intake were monitored.
