“…At this time, an immunological perinatal consultation should be planned in order to qualify for a further possible postnatal vaccination and diagnosis. Information about hypoplasia of the thymus should be noted in the child’s medical history and health book [ 29 ].…”

Introduction: The fetal thymus may be visualized using ultrasonography (USG) and is typically located in the mediastinum. In the past years, the size of the fetal thymus has served not only as a marker of genetic or heart defects but also as a predictive factor for intrauterine growth restriction, premature birth, preeclampsia, chorioamnionitis or even neonatal sepsis. Material and methods: A total of 410 fetuses were qualified for the study. Fetuses with heart defects were excluded from the study. The fetal thymus was evaluated with ultrasonography between the 14 th and 40 th week of gestation. After obtaining a standard transverse view encompassing the three great vessels, thymus measurements were attempted, i.e. maximal transverse diameter, circumference and surface area. Linear regression was used for statistical analysis, yielding 3 models, each with a different dependent variable. The confidence interval for each model was set at 80% to aid the comparison with centile grid growth charts for neonates and children. The test was regarded as statistically significant when p < 0.05. Results: From a total of 410 fetuses the thymus transverse diameter, circumference and area were successfully measured in 410, 320 and 330 cases, respectively. The probabilities are lower than 0.0005 for each model, which means that each model is quite statistically significant. Conclusions: The coverage of healthy thymus nomograms in the fetal population may be the basis for the identification of fetuses at risk of hypoplasia or thymic hyperplasia, which seems particularly important from the point of view of the detection of potential inborn immunological disorders

“…In the case of normal heart size, normal intracardiac blood flows, and normal fetus biometry and anatomy at this stage, no additional measurements are necessary. As the Polish Prenatal Cardiology Society, we also recommend third-trimester fetal echocardiography to confirm normal heart anatomy and normal function of the fetal heart [22][23][24].…”

“…There is also a group of disorders of the fetal heart function, which usually do not appear until the third trimester of pregnancy [6]. Moreover, if the fetus is monitored using fetal echocardiography over a period of several weeks, and the last examination is performed shortly before delivery, the condition of the newborn in the first hours and days of extrauterine life can be reliably predicted [1,2,16]. On the basis of the analysis of echocardiographic examinations of 107 fetuses, Strzelecka et al demonstrated, that if the anatomy and function of the fetal heart was evaluated as normal at the 37 th week of pregnancy or later, the newborn would be born in good general condition in each case [17].…”

So far, the largest scientific societies have not emphasised the importance of the assessment of the fetal circulatory system in the third trimester of pregnancy in their recommendations.…”

The purpose of this article is to show that fetal echocardiography should also be performed in the third trimester of pregnancy, both in normal and complicated pregnancies. The article presents a review of the current literature presenting the possibilities and goals of fetal echocardiography in the third trimester of pregnancy in situations such as: coarctation of the aorta, premature constriction of the ductus arteriosus, increased fetal lung vascular resistance, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, dextro-transposition of the great arteries, fetal growth restriction, pregestational diabetes mellitus, and gestational diabetes mellitus. A specific feature of fetal echocardiography in the third trimester is the emphasis on the assessment of fetal heart function; therefore, the article describes the current method of assessing it.
