A case of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of fibular hemimelia, type I associated with oligodactyly of the foot at 22 weeks of gestation is presented. Ultrasound examination at 22 weeks of gestation revealed hypoplasia of the left fibula and the foot oligodactyly. After prenatal counseling, the patient opted for termination of pregnancy. During external examination of the abortus asymmetry of the lower extremities due to shortening of the left lower leg and oligodactyly of the left foot were noted, those confirmed prenatal ultrasound data.

Despite the rapid technological advance, the expansion of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis, as well as the accumulation of experience by both domestic and foreign experts, prenatal recognition of true knots of the umbilical cord causes significant difficulties. Three cases of successful ultrasound diagnosis of true knots of the umbilical cord and brief review of the literature are presented.

Two cases of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of left atrial isomerism in the second trimester of gestation is presented. These two cases were in combination with pulmonary atresia and right aortic arch. Left atrial isomerism was identify by the digit-like shape of the left and right atrial appendages. The pulmonary atresia was identified on the basis of reverse flow in small pulmonary artery. A right aortic was identified by “U”-shaped confluence of aorta and ductus arteriosus in view of three vessels and trachea. The trachea was located between the vessels. The pregnancies were terminated and prenatal diagnosis was conformed at autopsy

The case of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of congenital brain teratoma at 35 weeks 4 days of gestation is presented. At ultrasound examination no pathology was detected at 12, 21 and 31 weeks of gestation. During ultrasound scanning of the fetus at 35 weeks of gestation the following changes were revealed: the brain architecture is represented by a thinned cortex, inhomogeneous cystic solid formation, significant macrocephaly and hydrocephaly. Pregnancy is ended by сaesarean section. A liveborn fetus with significant macrocephaly is extracted. He died after 2 days after birth. The tumor is estimated as a congenital immature (malignant) teratoma of the brain accordance with histological examination.

Three own cases of diagnosing anomalies of the relative position of the kidneys (horseshoe kidney) are presented. Two cases were diagnosed prenatally at 19+6 and 25+3 weeks of gestation, in one case no prenatal changes were identified, the diagnosis was made postnatally in the month of the child’s life. In all cases, the change was isolated. Thus, the possibility of prenatal diagnosis of a horseshoe kidney in our center was 66.7 %. In all cases the diagnosis of a horseshoe kidney was confirmed postnatally using ultrasound examination, and in one case magnetic resonance imaging of the abdominal organs was additionally performed. Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of a horseshoe kidney was possible due to the presence of adhesion of the lower poles with the whole mass and abnormal location of the kidneys, or the detection of a characteristic large parenchymal isthmus between the lower poles, located suprapertebrally. In the case of a typical location of the kidneys and the presence of a relatively thin isthmus between the poles, the diagnosis of this anomaly in the prenatal period caused certain difficulties.

The case of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of single umbilical artery aneurysm is presented. During ultrasound examination at 21 weeks of gestation several anomalies in the umbilical cord were detected: the umbilical right artery was missing and dilatation of the umbilical artery with a diameter 10 mm close to fetus. With colour Doppler and pulsed Doppler was demonstrated arterial turbulent flow in the aneurysm. Prenatal diagnosis of the single umbilical artery aneurysm was made. Other fetal measurements were normal. The diameter of the aneurysm increased throughout the pregnancy till 16 mm at 33 weeks of gestation. Cesarean section was performed at 34 weeks with baby weight 2150 g. The post-delivery examination of the umbilical cord confirmed the prenatal diagnosis. No chromosomal abnormalities were found. After six months the baby is alive and well.

A retrospective analysis of 6 cases of prenatal diagnosed of gallbladder duplication is presented. The average gestational age at prenatal diagnosis was 25,6 weeks (range 19–36 weeks) of gestation. In all cases two fluidcontaining cystic structures in the right upper quadrant of a fetus were found during ultrasound examination. These structures were saccular in morphology and located adjacent to the fetal liver.
