This article presents the data on the prevalence of congenital fetal anomalies in our hospital population obtained for the past five years (2013–2017). We analyzed the changes in their structure and the timing of diagnoses for the anomalies. In addition, the comparison of our results with international data was performed and extremely rare anomalies were described.
This article presents an annotation and discussion of our own clinical observation of a high-risk multiple pregnancy after in vitro fertilization in a patient with tuboperitoneal infertility. We report a case of early prenatal diagnosis of a rare malformation of a single fetus in dichorionic twin pregnancy (pentalogy of Cantrell). The feasibility of cumulative assessment of the risks of assisted reproductive technology complications to determine the tactics of management and intensive observation during pregnancy, as well as the use of invasive intrauterine interventions for multiple pregnancy to reduce perinatal risks is discussed.
1 ФГБНУ «НИИ акушерства, гинекологии и репродуктологии им. Д.О. Отта», Санкт-Петербург; 2 ФГБОУ ВО «Санкт-Петербургский государственный педиатрический медицинский университет» ■ The article presents 3 clinical cases of asymptomatic placental abruption, diagnosed occasionally during routine ultrasound. There were analyzed risk factors of placental abruption: thrombophlia, diabetes, perinatal losses. All cases demonstrated complete coincidence of ultrasonic and morphological data in placental abruption. The patients had been delivered successfully due to correct diagnostics and severe maternal and fetal complications were not realized.
Four cases of pregnancies with nontrophoblastic placental tumor – chorioangioma are presented in this article. Clinical symptoms depend on tumors size, vascularisation and histological types (angiomatoid, cellular and degenerative). Small tumors with poor vascularisation are essentially asymptomatic. Large ones can act as peripheral arteriovenosus shunts resulting in fetal functional disorders (polycythemia, hypervolemia, ventriculomegaly) associated with acute polyhydramnion, premature labor, maternal and neonatal complications. The role of ultrasound and color Doppler examinations, invasive procedures (amniocentesis) in the diagnosis of chorioangioma and management of such pregnancies are discussed.
This article presents the results of searching for specific ultrasound criteria for diagnosis of pyelonephritis in pregnancy. The data obtained confirm low specificity of echographic criteria and show the possibilities of Doppler using in the diagnosis of pyelonephritis.
