Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol
December 2024
Objective: The detection of a fetal abdominal cyst at the first-trimester ultrasound scan is a rare event, for which the natural history and prognosis are often unknown and unpredictable, owing to various underlying etiologies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of fetal abdominal cysts detected in the first trimester to better understand their possible clinical significance and improve their clinical management.
Methods: We present a case report of a fetal abdominal cyst detected in the first trimester, with subsequent diagnosis of congenital multiple arthrogryposis.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to find characteristics linked to postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in twin pregnancies to identify high-risk patients for better management.
- - It analyzed data from 707 twin pregnancies and found that 16.97% experienced PPH, with preterm delivery, episiotomy, neonatal weight, and mode of delivery being significant risk factors.
- - The multivariate analysis identified episiotomy and neonatal weight as the most critical factors influencing PPH risk, suggesting that understanding these could improve clinical management and reduce complications.
