We report a functioning ductus venosus with hypoplasia of the right hepatoportal system in a 2-year-old child born with asymmetric intra-uterine growth retardation. Postprandial galactosaemia and hyperammonaemia were clues to diagnosis of portal-systemic shunt through the patent ductus venosus, which was confirmed by ultrasonography and angiography.

Purpose: We aimed to determine fetal liver perfusion in PGDM and GDM pregnancies and to assess the relation of ductus venosus (DV) shunt fraction with adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a prospective longitudinal observational study including 188 pregnant women: group I-patients with pregestational DM (PGDM, n = 86), group II-patients with gestational DM (GDM, n = 44), group III-control (n = 58). The patients included in the study underwent ultrasound examination at 30-40 weeks of pregnancy.

To assess the prenatal course and early postnatal outcomes of fetuses diagnosed with tricuspid atresia and to identify predictors of survival. This was a retrospective study of 25 fetuses diagnosed with tricuspid atresia in a single tertiary referral center, evaluating prenatal echocardiographic features and postnatal outcomes. A total of 4 of 29 initially diagnosed fetuses were excluded due to changes in diagnosis or loss to follow-up, leaving 25 fetuses for analysis.

Purpose: Anatomical research on fetal liver venous systems is scarce. This study presents variations, morphometric, and histogenesis data through cadaveric study which can aid prenatal radiological analysis.
Materials And Methods: 10% formalin embalmed 16 fetuses (8-second trimester, 8-third trimester) were utilized.

India, owing to its population structure, faces an enormous burden of children born with congenital heart disease (CHD). Systematic challenges such as limited public health infrastructure, a shortage of trained specialists, and high out-of-pocket expenditures hinder uniform access to comprehensive CHD care. Despite these limitations, Indian pediatric cardiologists have delivered innovative and often cost-effective solutions to challenging clinical problems.

Background: The ductus venosus (DV) is a pivotal component of fetal circulation. Absent DV (ADV) is associated with structural defects, portal vein (PV) anomalies, and chromosomal anomalies. This observational study aims to investigate the impact of ADV on fetal circulation and postnatal outcomes.
