Unlabelled: Amniotic band syndrome is a constrictive phenomenon in fetal development that can provoke limb autoamputation, malformation, trunk division, and umbilical cord strangulation. The latter two complications will ultimately lead to fetal demise if left untreated. If detected early enough, select cases may benefit from prenatal resection of the amniotic bands, thus preventing amputation and fetal death.

Spontaneous complete chorioamniotic membrane separation (cCMS) is rare and associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, such as intrauterine fetal death. Herein, we present a case of spontaneous cCMS in a fetus with ileal atresia and umbilical cord ulcers. In our case, we detected spontaneous cCMS on ultrasonography at 35 weeks of gestation.

Introduction: Chorioamniotic membrane separation (CMS) is a known complication after fetal spina bifida (fSB) repair. This study's goal was to analyze women's outcomes with open fSB repair and CMS (group A) compared to the ones without (group B) and to assess the influence of CMS size and patient management.
Methods: A total of 194 women with open fSB repair at our center were included in this retrospective study.

Background: The expression profiles of placental genes are crucial for understanding the pathogenesis of fetal development and placental-origin pregnancy syndromes. However, owing to ethical limitations and the risks of puncture sampling, it is difficult to obtain placental tissue samples repeatedly, continuously, multiple times, or in real time. Establishing a non-invasive method for predicting placental gene expression profiles through maternal plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequencing, which carries information about the source tissue and gene expression, can potentially solve this problem.

Introduction: The optimal protocol for serial amnioinfusions to maintain amniotic fluid in pregnancies with early-onset fetal renal anhydramnios before 22 weeks is not known. We compared the performance of two different approaches.
Methods: A secondary analysis was conducted of serial amnioinfusions performed by a single center during the external pilot and feasibility phases of the Renal Anhydramnios Fetal Therapy (RAFT) trial.
