Prenatal Sonographic Clues to Diagnose External Genital Anomalies: Is It a Girl or a Boy?

Introduction The purpose of this study was to present the prenatal sonographic findings of external genital anomalies and determine diagnostic clues. Methodology In a single-center retrospective study, a total of 15,320 pregnant women underwent a routine ultrasound (US) screening between 18 and 40 weeks of gestation from March 2015 to January 2022. The fetuses with indeterminate sex and suspected genital anomalies were enrolled in the study.

Echogenicities in the fetal gallbladder: Prevalence, sonographic findings, and postnatal outcomes.

Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of echogenicity in the fetal gallbladder (EFG) and to present prenatal sonographic findings and their postnatal outcomes.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective study within 17420 pregnant women during a 66-month period. Fetuses with an incidental finding of EFG in their 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy were followed until birth per two weeks with sonographic examinations.

Differentiation of benign and malignant superficial soft tissue lesions using real-time strain elastography.

Background/aim: To evaluate benign and malignant cutaneous-subcutaneous lesions using real-time strain elastography (RTSE) and to compare the findings with histopathologic results.

Materials And Methods: Over a period of 10 months, 72 patients (38 with benign and 34 with malignant cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions) were prospectively included in this study. Elasticity patterns and strain ratios were examined for each lesion.

Is congenital dacryocystocele a benign, self-limited disorder? A review of the literature with four new cases.

Congenital dacryocystocele (CD) is a rare disorder about which little is known. A nonsystematic review was performed with an addition of four new cases. Thirty-seven studies were reviewed.

Significant associated MRI findings in patients with anterior cruciate ligament stump entrapment.

Objective: Objective of this study was to determine the relationship between development of stump entrapment (SE) lesions and associated injuries in patients with knee extension deficits who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 79 patients who had an arthroscopy-proven ACL rupture causing knee extension loss. Presence and type of the SE lesions, injuries of collateral-cruciate ligaments and bones, and tears of the menisci were evaluated and recorded on magnetic resonance imaging.
