Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness of cytogenetic testing through amniocentesis in fetuses diagnosed with isolated bilateral talipes equinovarus after an ultrasound.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 214 cases, where various prenatal data and outcomes were tracked from five fetal medicine centers between 2012 and 2021.
- The results indicated that the majority of cases had normal genetic outcomes, with a high live birth rate, but three medical terminations occurred due to significant genetic disorders detected through testing.
It is important to develop a better understanding of placental insufficiency given its role in common maternofetal complications such as preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction. Functional magnetic resonance imaging offers unprecedented techniques for exploring the placenta under both normal and pathological physiological conditions. Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) is an established and very robust method to investigate the microcirculatory parameters of an organ and more specifically its perfusion.
