[Ultrasound staging of endometrial cancer - recommended methodology of examination].

The extent of the staging surgery in cases of histologically proven endometrial cancer depends on whether the tumor is of high risk or low risk for extrauterine spread and recurrence. There are several significant prognostic factors - histological subtype and grade of dediferentiation from preoperative biopsy and local stage of uterine involvement based on imaging methods. The depth of myometrial invasion and presence of cervical stromal infiltration (local staging) can be assessed by ultrasound with the overall accuracy comparable to that of magnetic resonance.

[Ultrasonic staging cervical cancer -a proposal for the standard procedure].

Objective: To develop guidelines for the ultrasound examination of cervical cancer, including a unified ultrasound terminology.

Subject: Original paper.

Setting: Gynecological Oncology Center, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Masaryk University and General Faculty Hospital Brno, and Gynecological Oncology Center, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Charles University in Prague - First Faculty of Medicine and General Faculty Hospital Prague.

[Ultrasound imaging of normal fetal central nervous system at 8 to 12 weeks of gestation].

With ongoing evolution of advanced ultrasound diagnostic in prenatal care the trend is to detect potential fetal anomalies in the first trimester if possible. Complex knowledge of normal fetal anatomy, embryology and ultrasound anatomy is important to be able to identify subtle abnormalities. In this review we demonstrate the possibilities of ultrasound imaging of fetal brain at late first trimester and describe normal central nervous system development week by week.

[Prenatal diagnosis and management of fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia].

Objective: The aim of this article is to review current options of prenatal diagnosis and management of fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia at the Institute for the Care of Mother and Child.

Setting: Institute for the Care of Mother and Child, 3. LF UK, Prague.

[Prenatal intracranial hemorrhagie--diagnosis and follow-up].

Aim: We present a case of difficult prenatal diagnosis and follow-up of severe fetal intracranial hemorrhage. With an analysis of the available literature that is related to this topic, we would like to bring attention to the necessity of accurate evaluation of fetal brain morphology even during routine ultrasound examination in the late third trimester.

Type Of Study: Case report.
