Background : Hygroma coli is a malformation of the lymphatic system in the form of a membrane cyst filled with fluid, limited by the epithelium that is located in the anterolateral or occipito-cervical region. The prenatal diagnosis of cystic hygroma coli by ultrasound is based on an apparently bilateral, mostly symmetrical, and sometimes unilateral cystic structure located in the occipitocervical region. Large hygroma coli can cause pressure on the respiratory tract and digestion, so it requires management as soon as possible.The main treatment modality is surgical excision to remove the cystic lesion. The prognosis of a hygroma coli cyst depends on its size and the action taken because it is rare for cases to experience spontaneous regression.Destination : Reported a case of hygroma colliMethods : Case ReportCase Report : Case 24 years old women with preterm G1P0A0L0 26-27 weeks + Hygroma colli + IUFD + Suspected COVID-19. On ultrasound examination, it was found that BPD =4,71; AC = 15,91; FL = 2,89; EFW = 330 gr; FHR = (-); Cyst = 5,06 x 3,26. The presence of head presentation, IUFD, hygroma colli was found. The patient was planned for labor induction and the progress of labor was followed. Patient provided inform consent that baby was death during pregnancy and need to be labored. The baby was born, weight 300 gr, body length 14 cm and A/S 0/0. Postmortem physical examination revealed findings of hygroma colli infants such membrane cyst filled with fluid that located in the occipito-cervical region. Conclusion: Hygroma colli is a malformation of the lymphatic system and the prognosis or complications depends on the size of cyst. Careful prenatal examination is required in diagnosis and termination of pregnancyKeywords: Hygroma Colli, prenatal diagnosis
Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder in pregnancy that occurs in 5-10% of pregnancies and occurs after 20 weeks of gestation and recovers spontaneously after delivery. Several studies have stated that one of the risks of hypertension in pregnancy is related to magnesium homeostasis. Magnesium plays an important role in forming new tissues (maternal and fetal). Pregnant women need a higher intake of magnesium than non-pregnant women of the same age. Magnesium deficiency during pregnancy not only causes problems for the nutrition of pregnant women and fetuses, but also associated with the occurrence of preeclampsia, preterm labor and muscle cramps during pregnancy. This study aims to determine the relationship between the average increase in blood magnesium levels with the incidence of preeclampsia in hypomagnesemic pregnant women.Keywords: preeclampsia, hypertension, blood magnesium levels
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.
