Immune and nonimmune neonatal ascites may be part of hydrops fetalis or may be an isolated finding. However, a significant percentage of nonimmune ascites do not have an identifiable pathogenesis and are considered idiopathic. We report a case of fetal ascites and umbilical arterial necrotic vasculopathy, an association not previously described.

Background: Gastro-esophageal variceal hemorrhage (GEVH) is one of the major causes of life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding in children. Medical, endoscopic, angiographic, and surgical interventions can be utilized in treatment. In this case report, we describe partial splenic artery embolization for refractory GEVH due to portal vein thrombosis.

Background: Adverse events associated with umbilical vascular catheters occur frequently in the neonatal intensive care unit. International guidelines recommend limiting catheter dwell time to reduce the risk of adverse events, and this drives clinical decision-making regarding catheter removal, yet other risk factors may also influence the risk of adverse events.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop a clinically useful risk prediction model that could be utilised in the neonatal intensive care unit to identify infants at a greater risk of developing an adverse event associated with umbilical vascular catheters.
Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence Diagnosed Late in the Third Trimester: A Case Report and Literature Review.

The twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a rare complication associated with monochorionic twins. It is characterized by blood flow from the umbilical artery of the normal (pump) twin to the umbilical artery of the abnormal (acardiac) twin via artery-to-artery anastomosis. This condition is associated with 100% mortality in the acardiac twin and a high rate of perinatal morbidity and mortality in the pump twin, primarily due to intrauterine hypoxic injury, heart failure, and prematurity.

Fetal Medicine Unit, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Wing, University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, 250 Euston Road, London, NW1 2BU, UK.
Objectives: To produce standards of references for quality control and assess the reproducibility of fetal ultrasound Doppler measurements commonly used for blood flow assessment in fetal growth.
Methods: Women with singleton normal pregnancies were prospectively recruited at University College London Hospital, UK, between 24 and 41 weeks. Umbilical artery (UA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), and their pulsatility indices (PI), resistance indices (RI) and ratios such as cerebro-placental (CPR) and umbilical cerebral ratio (UCR) were obtained twice by two sonographers in training or after completion of training, blind to each other's measurements.
