Ovarian dermoids mostly remain asymptomatic during pregnancy. Large dermoids may present with torsion, hemorrhage or rupture. However, a dermoid cyst causing fetal growth restriction (FGR) and oligohydramnios is a very rare entity. We report a case of a large ovarian dernoid (15×12 cm) hampering intrauterine fetal growth. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, patient was unable to get ultrasound examinations in early gestation, and thereby surgical intervention was not possible during the second trimester. As a result, this growing teratoma finally led to FGR by either exerting a pressure effect upon the uterus or by dwindling its blood supply.

The article presents the effectiveness of Dopplerometry for assessing blood flow in large vessels, including the umbilical, uterine artery and middle cerebral artery, 90 women were examined in the second trimester, and 45 women showed signs of placental insufficiency, such as fetal growth restriction syndrome at 28-34 weeks. The results of the study showed that 23 (51.1%) women had signs of subcompensated insufficiency of uteroplacental blood flow, and 11 (24.4%) women showed signs of fetal-placental blood flow. The study of the uteroplacental-fetal blood flow allows early detection of early signs of impairment in the fetoplacental system and its timely correction.

Abstract Background Prediction models for early and late fetal growth restriction (FGR) have been established in many high-income countries. However, prediction models for late FGR in China are limited. This study aimed to develop a simple combined first- and second-trimester prediction model for screening late-onset FGR in South Chinese infants.Methods This retrospective study included 2258 women who had singleton pregnancies and received routine ultrasound scans. Late-onset FGR was defined as a birth weight < the 10th percentile plus abnormal Doppler indices and/or a birth weight below the 3rd percentile after 32 weeks, regardless of the Doppler status. Multivariate logistic regression was used to develop a prediction model.Results Ninety-three fetuses were identified as late-onset FGR. The significant predictors for late-onset FGR were maternal age, height, weight, and medical history; the second-trimester head circumference (HC)/abdominal circumference (AC) ratio; and the estimated fetal weight (EFW). This model achieved a detection rate (DR) of 52.6% for late-onset FGR at a 10% false positive rate (FPR) (area under the curve (AUC): 0.80, 95%CI 0.76-0.85).Conclusions A multivariate model combining first- and second-trimester default tests can detect 52.6% of cases of late-onset FGR. Further studies with more screening markers are needed to improve the detection rate.
