Right ventricular outflow tract abnormalities in monochorionic twin pregnancies without twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome: Prenatal course and postnatal long-term outcomes.

Objectives: Right ventricular outflow tract abnormalities (RVOTA) have been mostly reported in recipient twins (RT) of monochorionic/diamniotic (MC/DA) twin pregnancies with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Aim of the study was to describe RVOTA detected in MC/DA pregnancies without TTTS.

Methods: Cases of RVOTA were retrieved from our database among all MC/DA pregnancies without TTTS from 2009 to 2018.

Congenital and proposal of a new classification for the likelihood of primary maternal infection: analysis of 375 cases in Southeast Italy.

The aim of this study was to propose a classification in order to stratify the probability of an acute Toxoplasma infection in pregnancy and to estimate the risk of vertical transmission. We evaluated the likelihood of a primary maternal infection according to the Lebech classification and to the modified-Lebech classification proposed for our group of 375 patients referred for a suspected primary maternal infection. Fetal diagnosis included the examination of amniotic fluid by PCR to detect Toxoplasma DNA as a confirmation test.
