Fetal gastric area correlates with ultrasound-determined gastric volume measurements and appears to be useful in the assessment of digestive tract anomalies.
Two siblings with aneurysms of the muscular ventricular septum are presented. Case 1 (the older brother) underwent fetal echocardiography at 26 weeks of gestation. Initially, it was thought that he had a muscular ventricular septal defect; however, postnatal echocardiography revealed an aneurysm of the muscular portion of the ventricular septum. Retrospective review of the 26-weeks gestation fetal echocardiogram confirmed this diagnosis. Case 2 (a younger brother of the first case) was also diagnosed as having an aneurysm of the ventricular septum by fetal echocardiography at 28 weeks of gestation. Postnatal echocardiography confirmed this diagnosis.
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.
