Abstract:History A 3-month-old previously healthy girl presented to an outside institution with a 4-day history of low-grade fever, irritability, and a tender "knot" in the upper abdomen. Ultrasonography (US) was performed at an outside hospital. US images were not available for review; however, they showed a mass in the left hepatic lobe, per the outside report, and the patient was referred to our institution for further evaluation. Her parents reported a normal full-term pregnancy, with regular prenatal care and norm… Show more

A euploid fetus in a partial molar pregnancy can develop umbilical cord abnormalities as pregnancy goes on. So, careful examination of the umbilical cord can determine fetuses at risk for ominous adverse effects.

“…The presumed cause of this sudden intrauterine fetal death was complete obstruction of the ductus venosus pathway, confirmed by histological examination. Only two other cases with thrombosis in both the umbilical vein and the portal vein have been reported in the literature, but those were diagnosed after birth by ultrasonography and computed tomography, and there was no histopathological evidence of thrombosis in the portal vein 1,2 .…”
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.
