“…In the cases of pulmonary hypoplasia and CDH, the tracheal fluid flow was investigated in relation to prognosis. 15,16 The assessment of fluid flow in fetal airway tract may allow more detailed evaluation of an obstructive or malformative disease by identifying alterations in respiratory function.…”

The fetal airway tract can be observed using the planes of view in cardiac screening. In three-vessel-tracheal view, the crosssection of the trachea is identified adjacent to the right-posterior side of the middle transverse aorta. In three-vessel view, the cross-section of the right bronchus is observed adjacent to the right side of the ascending aorta. In aortic and ductal arch views, the short axis of the left bronchus is confirmed inward of the arch. In oblique three-vessel view, the right bronchus is seen on top of the ascending aorta coursing toward the azygos vein. To exclude the vessels, absence of blood flow signals in the trachea and bronchi should be reconfirmed by using pulsed and color Doppler imagings. In the whole 'Y-shaped' image, the right main bronchus depicts the more linear extension from the trachea than the left bronchus and the first lobar bronchus that branches near the carina to the right upper lobe. Segmental bronchi also can be depicted in both bilateral bronchi. Several new modalities, including three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound, simultaneous visualization of the fetal trachea and esophagus, and fluid flow waveforms in the fetal airway tract, makes feasible detailed prenatal assessment, prediction of neonatal respiratory condition, and most especially identification of anatomical deformity and pathologic entities.

“…Furthermore, cone-shaped epiphyses, flat nose arc, thickening in the bile ducts, and clinical findings secondary to pulmonary hypoplasia can be rarely seen [ 2 ]. The marked narrow thorax and short ribs in SRPS can lead to pulmonary hypoplasia, and consequently both parenchymal hypoplasia and vascular hypoplasia in pulmonary hypoplasia can cause persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPH) [ 3 ]. In this paper, for the first time in the literature, we present a case with neonatal persistent pulmonary hypertension, which developed secondary to SRPS and which was resistant to therapy.…”

Short-rib polydactyly syndrome is an autosomal recessively inherited lethal skeletal dysplasia. The syndrome is characterized by marked narrow fetal thorax, short extremities, micromelia, cleft palate/lip, polydactyly, cardiac and renal abnormalities, and genital malformations. In cases with pulmonary hypoplasia, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn can develop. In this paper, we present a term newborn with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, which has developed secondary to short-rib polydactyly syndrome and was resistant to therapy with inhaled nitric oxide and oral sildenafil.

In order to keep subscribers up‐to‐date with the latest developments in their field, John Wiley & Sons are providing a current awareness service in each issue of the journal. The bibliography contains newly published material in the field of prenatal diagnosis. Each bibliography is divided into 20 sections: 1 Reviews; 2 General Interest; 3 Normal Fetal Development; 4 Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis; 5 First Trimester Diagnosis; 6 Second Trimester Diagnosis; 7 Fetal Imaging: General; Ultrasound; MRI; 8 Maternal Serum Screening for Aneuploidy; 9 Screening for Carriers of Genetic Abnormality; 10 Molecular Cytogenetics: Metaphase Cytogenetics/FISH; Array cGH; 11 Fetal Cells in Maternal Circulation; 12 Fetal DNA/RNA in Maternal Body Fluids; 13 Fetal Therapy; 14 Psychosocial and Ethical Aspects; 15 Epidemiology and Environmental Factors; 16 Developmental and Placental Pathology; 17 Genetic Counseling. Within each section, articles are listed in alphabetical order with respect to author. If, in the preceding period, no publications are located relevant to any one of these headings, that section will be omitted
