Fetal lymphatic malformation can be found in different parts of the fetal body. It occurs most frequently in the nuchal and axillary region and less frequently in the abdomen or inguinal areas. Lymphatic malformation has been associated with fetal aneuploidy, hydrops fetalis, structural malformations, and intrauterine fetal death.A 31-year-old gravida 3, para 2 woman was admitted to our hospital at 22 weeks of gestation (confirmed by ultrasonographic examination). The fetus was alive, and had a mass derived from the left inguinal region extending to the anterior left leg with fluid-filled cavities about 3–5 cm in size. There was no evidence of intra-abdominal extension of the mass. Amniocentesis was performed. Fetal magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left inguinal cystic mass, which extended to the left thigh. Antenatal follow-up was uneventful. The mother gave birth at term with a cesarean section. Postnatal clinical examination and imaging examination confirmed the diagnosis of lymphatic malformation.Fetal lymphatic malformation carries a high risk of aneuploidy and fetal malformations. Patients diagnosed with lymphatic malformation in antenatal follow-up should be assessed in terms of coexistent anomalies. Fetal karyotyping should be done and the fetus should be monitored for fetal hydrops.
Galen veni anevrizmal malformasyonu yenidoğan döneminde sık görülen semptomatik serebrovasküler malformasyonların nadir görülen bir formudur. Damar içi volüm artışının sebep olduğu, değişen düzeyde pulmoner hipertansiyon ve yine intraserebral şantlardaki akım artışına bağlı olarak gelişen yüksek debili konjestif kalp yetersizliği beraberinde eşlik edebilen iki önemli durumdur. Özellikle yenidoğan döneminde artan perinatal morbidite ve mortalitenin büyük kısmı yüksek debili kalp yetersizliğinden dolayıdır. Olgu ve Sonuç: Bu olgu sunumunda üçüncü trimesterde tanı alan Galen ven anevrizmasının prenatal tanısı ve doğum sonrası yönetimi tartışılmıştır.
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.
