Feasibility of prediction of cesarean section scar dehiscence in the third trimester by three-dimensional ultrasound.

Purpose: To assess the role of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound mutiplanar view in prediction of cesarean section (CS) scars dehiscence.

Subjects And Methods: One hundred pregnant women with previous CS scars were investigated by ultrasound to measure the scar thickness by 2D ultrasound and to depict the uterine wall by 3D coronal plane, using 3D multiplanar view. Straight line cut section by 3D multiplanar view was used and prediction of dehiscence was by detecting fenestration of the wall.

Three-dimensional power Doppler indices of preeclamptic placentas correlated to umbilical artery Doppler and albuminuria.

Unlabelled: Abstract Purpose: To obtain three-dimensional power Doppler (3DPD) indices of placenta in pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia compared to normal pregnancies and correlated to umbilical artery Doppler and albuminuria.

Methods: A case-control study was conducted at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital. Evaluation of placental vascular indices, vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularization flow index (VFI), was done using 3DPD in 80 preeclampsia pregnancies compared to 80 normal controls.
