We present normal intracranial translucency values in the first trimester of single gestations with live fetuses in a Latin American population. These values are similar to those described in other populations. The intracranial translucency value was linearly correlated with crown-rump length in fetuses between gestational ages of 11 weeks and 13 weeks 6 days, which is consistent with previous publications, although these data cannot be interpreted independently.
Background/objectives: Prenatal myelomeningocele (MMC) repair has been shown to improve neurological outcomes. It has been suggested that decreases in the hysterotomy diameter during surgery can improve perinatal outcomes without altering neurologic outcomes. The objective of this study is to describe and compare the main maternal and fetal outcomes of fetuses undergoing open surgery for MMC repair, through the different modifications (standard-classical, mini-hysterotomy, and microneurosurgery).
La miocardiopatía periparto es una patología poco frecuente que puede conllevar a una alta tasa de mortalidad por el compromiso cardiaco si no se realiza un manejo oportuno y adecuado. Debido a su presentación clínica, las similitudes con síntomas propios del embarazo y aquellos generados por la preeclampsia, se convierte en un diagnóstico de exclusión que requiere de alta sospecha clínica. Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente de 33 años de edad con diagnóstico de preeclampsia atípica, disfunción hepática, hematológica y renal en el puerperio, quien presentó evolución cardiovascular tórpida a pesar del manejo adecuado por lo cual se sospechó y objetivó el diagnóstico de miocardiopatía periparto que progresó a una falla cardiaca aguda con disfunción multiorgánica y necesidad de trasplante cardiaco
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
