Hydrops of a fetus of unknown etiology with the development of severe intracranial hemorrhage.

Prenatally diagnosed intracranial hemorrhage in the fetus is associated with a wide range of neonatal disorders, from completely uncomplicated physiological development to severe neurological impairment or death. The incidence is 0.6-1/1,000 births.

Term planned delivery based on fetal growth assessment with or without the cerebroplacental ratio in low-risk pregnancies (RATIO37): an international, multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial.

Background: The cerebroplacental ratio is associated with perinatal mortality and morbidity, but it is unknown whether routine measurement improves pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to evaluate whether the addition of cerebroplacental ratio measurement to the standard ultrasound growth assessment near term reduces perinatal mortality and severe neonatal morbidity, compared with growth assessment alone.

Methods: RATIO37 was a randomised, open-label, multicentre, pragmatic trial, conducted in low-risk pregnant women, recruited from nine hospitals over six countries.

Cesarean scar pregnancy.

Objective: To summarize the current knowledge on pregnancy in a cesarean scar.

Methodology: A literature review on the topic using the PubMed database.

Results: Gravidity in a cesarean scar is a relatively new type of ectopic pregnancy that will be an increasingly common problem in an era of increasing cesarean section rates.

In vitro simulation of acute feto-fetal transfusion in case of single intrauterine fetal death in monochorionic twins.

Introduction: Thanks to shared circulation in monochorionic twins, single intrauterine fetal death (IUD) may lead to acute feto-fetal transfusion (aFFTR). The objective of the study was to describe our model of aFFTR simulation after IUD in monochorionic (MC) twins.

Methods: Prospective study analyzed 99 fresh MC placentas with the physiological course.

Bronchopulmonary Sequestration with Fetal Hydrops in a Monochorionic Twin Successfully Treated with Multiple Courses of Betamethasone.

 We present a case of severe bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) and fetal hydrops in one of the monochorionic twin successfully treated with multiple courses of betamethasone.  A 21-year-old gravida 2 para 1 was referred to our hospital for suspected twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) at 28 weeks of gestational age. However, prenatal ultrasound of the larger twin revealed a chest lesion that was associated with significant ascites, massive hydrothorax, scant hepatomegaly, subcutaneous edema, and severe polyhydramnios.
