Article Synopsis
  • Penicillin desensitization is crucial for pregnant patients with severe penicillin allergies who also have syphilis.
  • A pregnant patient with secondary syphilis experienced anaphylaxis during the desensitization process but was successfully treated with intramuscular epinephrine.
  • Continuous fetal monitoring during the episode indicated that the fetus experienced stable conditions, suggesting that epinephrine has little to no immediate negative effects on the fetus in such situations.

Objectives: The congenital pulmonary airway malformation volume ratio (CVR) is a widely used sonographic measure of relative mass size in fetuses with lung malformations. The purposes of this study were to examine serial CVR measurements to understand longitudinal growth patterns and to determine correlation with postnatal imaging.

Methods: An institutional review board-approved retrospective review was performed on fetuses referred for an echogenic lung malformation between 2002 and 2014.

Background/purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the natural history and outcomes of prenatally diagnosed lung masses that appear to undergo complete regression before birth.

Methods: An IRB-approved retrospective review was performed on 100 consecutive fetuses with a congenital lung malformation at a single fetal center. Prenatal and postnatal imaging as well as outcomes of vanishing fetal masses was analyzed and compared to those with persistent fetal masses.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a simple and accurate approach for risk stratification of fetal lung lesions that are associated with respiratory compromise at birth.

Study Design: We conducted a retrospective review of 64 prenatal lung lesions that were managed at a single fetal care referral center (2001-2011). Sonographic data were analyzed and correlated with perinatal outcomes.

Ectopic pregnancy is a common condition with the immediate risk of life-threatening hemorrhage and subsequent risks of infertility and recurrence. Despite remarkable advances in diagnosis and treatment, ectopic pregnancies account for 9% of all maternal deaths. Early diagnosis has led to the development of innovative surgical and nonsurgical options.
