Presentation of ventriculomegaly at 11-14 weeks of gestation: An analysis of longitudinal data.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the value of the sonographic measurements of the choroid plexus and the lateral ventricles at 11-14 gestational weeks in fetuses that had the diagnosis of second-trimester ventriculomegaly (VM) as a clinical reference.

Methods: The standard axial plane used for biparietal diameter measurement from 2D stored images in the first trimester was used to calculate the ratio between the choroid plexus and lateral ventricle diameter (PDVDR), the choroid plexus and lateral ventricle length (PLVLR) and the choroid plexus and lateral ventricle area (PAVAR) in 100 normal and 15 fetuses diagnosed with second-trimester VM.

Results: In fetuses with VM, the measurements of PDVDR, PLVLR and PAVAR were all significantly smaller compared to normal fetuses (p = < 0.

Accuracy of ultrasound for the detection of placenta accreta spectrum in a universal screening population.

Objectives: The current study aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound for the diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) in a universal screening population and assesses the added value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: This retrospective analysis evaluated 5219 patients with singleton pregnancies who had a standardized ultrasound (US) examination in our unit and delivered at our institution between 2014 and 2019.

Results: A total of 181 (3.
