Fetal Sacrococcygeal Teratoma: A Case Report of a Giant Tumor withan Excellent Outcome.

Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) occurs in approximately 1 per 20,000-40,000 births and is the most frequently encountered fetal teratoma, with 75% of cases observed in female fetuses. SCT can be detected on ultrasound as early as the first trimester, presenting as a large mass originating from the sacrococcygeal area, with or without an intrapelvic component. The prenatal course for most fetuses with SCT is generally uneventful, with only a few cases experiencing obstetric and fetal complications.

Does a Caesarean Section Scar Affect Placental Volume, Vascularity and Localization?

Caesarean section is associated with an increased risk of abnormal placental implantation and adverse pregnancy outcomes in subsequent pregnancies. Besides the placenta accrete spectrum, only a few of the previous studies focused on other placental development alterations in the scarred uterus. We assessed placental development deviations in the uterus with a Caesarean section scar by evaluating placental volume (PV) and vascular flow indexes.

The Correlation Between Abnormal Uterine Artery Flow in the First Trimester and Genetic Thrombophilic Alteration: A Prospective Case-Controlled Pilot Study.

Introduction: Evaluation of the first trimester uterine artery flow can predict the development of obstetrical complications. A genotype, making women prone to microthrombi. constitutes the main known susceptibility factor for anomalous development of placenta.

Latvian experience in conservative management of abnormally invasive placenta: two case reports.

Background: Abnormally invasive placentation (AIP) is a clinical term that describes situation when placenta does not separate spontaneously after delivery and its manual removal causes excessive bleeding (1). Historically, the treatment of choice for this condition is hysterectomy. Lately, the new treatment option, conservative management of the AIP, has proven itself an effective alternative to hysterectomy in carefully selected patients (2).
