Navigating the Spectrum of Double-İnlet Left Ventricle Presentations: Contemporary Retrospective Cohort Study.

Purpose: We presented the experience of a tertiary care center for maternal and fetal diseases and assessed the findings fetuses with double-inlet left ventricle (DILV) regarding fetal echocardiography, prenatal course including fetal growth and death, and postnatal outcome.

Methods: In this retrospective study, patients diagnosed with DILV via prenatal ultrasound in the maternal-fetal medicine department between 2015 and 2023 were included to evaluate important aspects of prenatal diagnosis and course, as well as postnatal management and outcome.

Results: There were 33 DILV cases prenatally diagnosed and postnatally confirmed.

The role of persistent right umbilical vein in the diagnosis of fetal genetic syndromes.

Introduction: Persistent right umbilical vein (PRUV) is an embryonic vascular abnormality. Recent studies suggested that the perinatal outcome was good and the risk of aneuploidy was low in isolated forms. Our purpose in this study was to assess the relation of PRUV with genetic abnormalities and demonstrate concomitant malformations and perinatal outcomes of these fetuses.

Prenatal diagnosis of right aortic arch: associated anomalies and fetal prognosis according to different subtypes.

Objectives: Right aortic arch (RAA) is a rare anomaly with an incidence of 0.1 % in the adult population and low-risk fetuses. Our aim in this study was to evaluate associated anomalies and conditions according to subtypes.

Protruding vs. visible prolapsed fetal membranes adversely affects the outcome of cervical insufficiency.

Objective: This study aimed to determine how prolapsed fetal membranes (PFM) affect perinatal outcomes in cases of cervical insufficiency undergoing emergency cerclage or expectant management.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study analyzed perinatal outcomes in 100 pregnant women with cervical insufficiency, including those with visible PFM at the cervical external os and those with protruding PFM to the vagina. The participants were subjected to either expectant management involving prescribed bedrest or emergency cerclage.

Assessment of fetal myocardial performance index in pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection: A prospective cohort study.

Objectives: Our aim was to investigate the effects of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on fetal myocardial performance in women who had it during their pregnancy.

Materials And Methods: In our prospective cohort study including healthy pregnant women and pregnant with SARS-CoV-2 infection, we collected patients' data between June 2021 and April 2022. Maternal characteristics, gestational age at SARS-CoV-2 infection and ultrasound examination, and body mass index were noted.
