Destructive brain lesions of presumed fetal onset: antepartum causes of cerebral palsy.

Antepartum events have been associated with fetal brain injury and may contribute to later neurological sequelae. However, children with these injuries may be asymptomatic or exhibit few clinical signs during the neonatal period. Six neonates are presented with destructive brain lesions of fetal onset based on radiological and neurophysiological studies at birth.

Sonographic imaging of the fetal azygous vein. Normal and pathologic appearance.

Sonologists should be familiar with the frequency of resolution and the ultrasonic appearance of the normal fetal azygous vein. In this study, 66 consecutive uncomplicated pregnancies were scanned to determine the frequency of imaging the fetal thoracic azygous vein. Between 21.
