Imaging in fetal genital anomalies.

Genital anomalies are a heterogeneous group of congenital pathologies that have become increasingly relevant since the Chicago Consensus of 2005. Their postnatal diagnosis has developed significantly in the last two decades, while prenatal diagnosis seems to be underdeveloped, with few protocols available, fragmented scientific literature, and low diagnostic rates. This review aims to examine the current status of this subspecialty from the perspective of prenatal imaging.

Open-legs axial plane: A standardized methodology and reference values for fetal genital biometry in mid-trimester ultrasound.

Background: Evaluation of the external genitalia is an important part of prenatal ultrasound. However, there is no standardized methodology that includes biometric measurements and normative data to be able to carry out this evaluation.

Objective: To develop a standardized methodology for fetal genital biometry and obtain reference values for use in mid-trimester ultrasound.
