Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of virtual autopsy using 7 Tesla MRI compared to traditional autopsy for identifying structural abnormalities in second-trimester fetuses (13-19 weeks gestation).
- A total of 30 fetuses were analyzed, and the results showed that virtual autopsy had a high sensitivity (92.04%) and specificity (97.87%) for detecting anatomical issues, achieving an overall diagnostic accuracy of 95.68%.
- The findings indicated that virtual autopsy performs particularly well in examining the nervous system compared to classical autopsy when evaluating small fetuses.
Article Synopsis
- - Spina bifida is a birth defect affecting the development of neural structures, often leading to physical and neurological challenges that surgical interventions may not completely resolve.
- - The report discusses an adult male in his 40s who had surgery for meningocele as a baby and now suffers from severe complications, including ulcers, fractures, and a large tumor affecting multiple body areas.
- - Due to factors like immobility and inadequate social support, the case was managed conservatively, as the carcinoma was not surgically removable.
A complete uterine septum, with a double cervix and vaginal septum, is a complex and rare congenital genital tract anomaly. The diagnosis is difficult and often challenging, requiring complex imaging investigations and diagnostic hysteroscopy. The benefit of hysteroscopic metroplasty for this uterine malformation is still the subject of dispute.

Any variation/disruption occurring during the initial stages of placental formation leads to placental malfunction causing increased maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality. The succenturiate lobe is a structural variation of the placenta that usually appears as a distinct lobe from the main placental mass.
