Cesarean scar pregnancy refers to the complete or partial implantation of a gestational sac within an existent cesarean scar. Expectant management of caesarean scar pregnancy can lead to uterine rupture, a rare but life-threatening complication. We report here a sonographic marker which could predict short-term risk of uterine rupture in the context of expectant management of CSP after 15 weeks.

This report aims to highlight the prenatal diagnosis of WABS through ultrasound findings and genetic testing. We report a case of prenatal diagnosis of WABS in a 24-week gestation fetus exhibiting microcephaly, delayed sulcation, short corpus callosum, cerebellar vermis hypoplasia and intrahepatic portal-systemic shunts.

- This study aimed to assess maternal and perinatal outcomes in cases of fetal intervention complicated by maternal "mirror" syndrome, which involves maternal swelling due to fetal conditions like hydrops.
- Researchers analyzed medical records from 21 pregnancies with fetal hydrops treated between 1995 and 2022, identifying causes like fetal lung issues and twin-twin transfusion syndrome.
- The findings showed that post-intervention, maternal symptoms improved significantly in about 38% of cases, indicating the need for closer monitoring of mothers undergoing fetal treatment due to the potential emergence of "mirror" syndrome.
Objectives: To investigate short-term neonatal developmental outcomes in fetuses with an isolated wide or narrow cavum septi pellucidi (CSP) using new reference ranges.
Methods: A cross-sectional study on fetuses at 16 + 0 to 36 + 6 weeks of gestation between December 2020 and January 2022. CSP width reference ranges were constructed from low-risk pregnancies.
