Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the success rates of fresh embryo transfers (ET) versus freeze-all strategies in infertile women with adenomyosis undergoing assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
- Conducted at a university hospital, the observational study included 306 women, with a notable difference in live birth rates: 44.1% in the freeze-all group compared to 30.6% in the fresh ET group.
- Conclusions indicate that the freeze-all strategy significantly increases cumulative live birth rates for women with adenomyosis, suggesting it could be a more effective option, warranting further randomized studies for validation.
Research Question: Is there a change in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) criteria of diffuse and focal phenotypes of adenomyosis before and after pregnancy?
Design: A retrospective, monocentric, observational study in a single academic tertiary referral centre for endometriosis diagnosis and management. Women were followed for symptomatic adenomyosis, and without a prior history of surgery who give birth after 24+0 weeks. For each patient, pelvic MRI pre- and post-pregnancy was performed by two experienced radiologists with the same image acquisition protocol.
Research Question: In women with radiologically diagnosed adenomyosis, is the presence of endometriosis associated with a higher rate of miscarriage?
Design: An observational cohort study of women who received medical care for benign gynaecological conditions between May 2005 and May 2018. Women who had adenomyosis lesions visualized by uterine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were included. Women who had never been pregnant were excluded.
Congenital orbital masses are rare disorders. A wide variety of lesions, including malignant and benign tumors, may develop around the orbit; hemangioma, lymphangioma, and optic nerve meningioma are the most common. Counseling for the prognosis and postnatal treatment depends on antenatal suspicion.

Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: A single French university tertiary referral hospital.
Study Objective: To evaluate the association between bladder deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and anterior focal adenomyosis of the outer myometrium (aFAOM) diagnosed by preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Design: An observational, cross-sectional study using prospectively collected data (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).
Setting: Single university tertiary referral center.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of MRI and ultrasound (US) in diagnosing congenital obstructive genital abnormalities in 20 fetuses.
- MRI resulted in a correct diagnosis in 95% of cases, significantly outperforming US, which only achieved 30%.
- MRI provided additional diagnostic information in 75% of cases and was crucial in modifying prenatal management for 70% of the fetuses.
EPG5-related Vici syndrome is a rare multisystem autosomal recessive disorder characterized by corpus callosum agenesis (ACC), hypopigmentation, cataracts, acquired microcephaly, failure to thrive, cardiomyopathy and profound developmental delay, and immunodeficiency. We report here the first case of prenatally diagnosed Vici syndrome with delayed gyration associated with ACC. Trio based exome sequencing allowed the identification of a compound heterozygous mutation in the EPG5 gene.
