We report the case of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the vein of Galen diagnosed in utero at the 34th week of gestation by ultrasound and MRI. Following interdisciplinary advice, the family decided to terminate the pregnancy. This was carried out in the 36th week of gestation. Mascroscopic study of the fetus confirmed the in utero diagnosis: considerable dilatation of the cerebral arteries, the Galen vein and the anteroinferior sinuses. Based on the correlation of pre and post natal examinations, this study highlights the accuracy of in utero MRI, coupled with ultrasound scanning in the diagnosis of an AVM of the Galen vein. It provides specific information on the degree of cerebral impairment. MRI in utero helps in decision-making for pregnancy termination.

In applying a quantitative approach to the reproduction of Trygonoptera imitata, the present study contributes to understanding the wide diversity in the reproductive biology of the family Urolophidae and provides insights to help determine phylogenetic relationships. This localised species is taken as bycatch in several inshore fisheries and potentially impacted by a range of other anthropogenic pressures, including introduced species, particularly in shallow-water pupping areas. T. imitata can be characterised as a species of comparatively low matrotrophic histotrophy with an extended period of relatively large eggs in utero (5–8 months) followed by rapid growth of the embryos (4–6 months). The reproductive cycle is annual with parturition occurring during late-February–April, followed immediately by ovulation. Mean size-at-birth is ~225 mm total length and there is a ~1000% gain in mean wet mass from egg (15 g) to full-term embryo in utero (150 g), the lowest reported for any viviparous batoid. Litter size increases with maternal length, reaching a maximum of seven, and sex ratio of embryos is 1 : 1. Maximum length and estimates of the maturity–ogive parameters l50 and l95 are similar for females and males.

Similarities And Differences

Children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are exposed to high levels of testosterone in utero often resulting in nontypical genitalia at birth for girls. The purpose of this analysis, which draws on data from a larger study, was to examine, based on the gender of the child, the family experiences of having a child with CAH. Sixteen parents were interviewed, and comparisons were made across all categories coded in the parents’ interviews to examine similarities and differences in the experiences of families based on the child’s gender. Families having a daughter with CAH experienced additional challenges when compared with families having a son. These include fear of stigmatization, challenging surgical decisions, and concerns regarding disclosure of the condition. Acknowledging this and creating support programs tailored for girls that address surgical procedures and complications resulting from being born with elevated testosterone are critical to promoting a healthy family and child response.

Fumarase Deficiency

A family having two boys with progressive encephalomyopathy and fumaric aciduria due to fumarase deficiency is described. Both patients initially presented with polyhydramnios and enlarged cerebral ventricles in utero, with subsequent cerebral atrophy, severe developmental delay, infantile spasms, and hypsarythmia on electroencephalogram. Fumarase activity in blood mononuclear cells and In the mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions of cultured skin fibroblasts was less than 0.5% of the control mean or undetectable. The older boy died at the age of 5 years and 4 months and the younger one is now 2 years and 10 months. The unrelated parents are symptomless and the other three children in the family are clinically healthy. Fumarase activities in the blood mononuclear cells of the father, mother, sister, and two brothers were 59%, 52%, 52%, 120%, and 44% of the control mean, respectively. The results strongly support autosomal recessive inheritance of fumarase deficiency and suggest its consideration in children with congenital hydrocephalus, progressive brain atrophy, and infantile spasms.

Timing Of Death

The case concerns a dead newborn. The family alleged that his death was due to delay in delivery by the attending doctors. Medico-legal autopsy was performed three days later which showed maceration changes suggestive of the foetus lying dead-in-utero for about 24 h which prima facie refuted the allegation of negligence.

Hells Canyon

Two Upper Triassic sphinctozoan sponges of the family Sebargasiidae were recovered from silicified residues collected in Hells Canyon, Oregon. These sponges areAmblysiphonellacf.A. steinmanni(Haas), known from the Tethys region, andColospongia whalenin. sp., an endemic species. The latter sponge was placed in the superfamily Porata by Seilacher (1962). The presence of well-preserved cribrate plates in this sponge, in addition to pores of the chamber walls, is a unique condition never before reported in any porate sphinctozoans. Aporate counterparts known primarily from the Triassic Alps have similar cribrate plates but lack the pores in the chamber walls. The sponges from Hells Canyon are associated with abundant bivalves and corals of marked Tethyan affinities and come from a displaced terrane known as the Wallowa Terrane. It was a tropical island arc, suspected to have paleogeographic relationships with Wrangellia; however, these sponges have not yet been found in any other Cordilleran terrane.
