Persistent truncus arteriosus with absent semilunar valve in first trimester.

Persistent truncus arteriosus (PTA) is a relatively uncommon congenital heart disease, accounting for approximately 0.7-1.4% of all congenital cardiac abnormalities worldwide.

Prenatal diagnosis of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect.

Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD) is a rare complex congenital heart defect. Major artery-pulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) are characteristic of PA-VSD. Prenatal diagnosis can be achieved in most cases of PA-VSD with recent advances in echocardiography.

Localization of the fetal conus medullaris by oblique view extended imaging.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of oblique view extended imaging (OVEI) in locating the position of the fetal conus medullaris.

Methods: One hundred and twenty-two normal fetuses and five counterparts with spinal bifida received prenatal ultrasound examination. The vertebral body at the terminal of the conus medullaris and the coronal section of over five vertebral bodies were reconstructed using OVEI.

Prenatal diagnosis of Berry syndrome by fetal echocardiography: a case report.

We report a case in which Berry syndrome is diagnosed by fetal echocardiography. Fetal echocardiography showed that the ascending aorta, main pulmonary artery, left pulmonary artery, and right pulmonary artery were presented as a vascular complexity in the three vessels and pulmonary arterial branches view.
