Article Abstract
Purpose: This is an extremely rare case of complicated fetal esophageal atresia (EA) with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) and interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC) diagnosed by prenatal ultrsonography and successfully treated with surgical repair.
Methods: A 35-year-old pregnant woman was referred to our center for prenatal ultrasound, and the fetus was found to have a series of abnormalities, such as an interrupted IVC associated with a dilated azygos vein, an upper neck pouch sign of the thorax, and polyhydramnios. With suspicion of EA with TEF and interrupted IVC, the infant was born at 39 weeks of gestation, and successfully underwent the surgical operation.
Results: The baby was doing well after 21 months of follow-up.
Conclusion: It is beneficial for the prenatal ultrasonic diagnosis of EA with TEF in optimizing labor care, postpartum treatment, and prompting neonatal management.

Article Synopsis
- Chromosomal analysis using CMA, MS-MLPA, and trio-WES was conducted on a female fetus with omphalocele, identifying a new 300-kb deletion in the Xq13.1 region affecting the MED12 gene.
- An ultrasound at 18 weeks showed features indicative of Hardikar syndrome, such as cleft lip and palate, diaphragmatic hernia, and heart displacement.
- The findings suggest that the deletion of the MED12 gene may play a critical role in the development of Hardikar syndrome, highlighting the potential impact of haploinsufficiency of this gene.
Factor Analysis of the Missed Diagnosis of Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection in Prenatal Echocardiography.

Department of Ultrasound Diagnosis, the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, China.
Aim: This study investigated the major factors contributing to the missed diagnosis of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) in fetal echocardiography.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the prenatal ultrasonic images of 32 fetuses with missed diagnoses of TAPVC, compared them with autopsy and postnatal surgical records, and summarized the most likely reasons leading to the missed diagnoses.
Results: We studied a total of 157 fetuses with TAPVC, 32 (20.
Molecular Genetic and Clinical Characteristics of Fetuses With Chromosome 16 Short-Arm Microdeletions/Microduplications.

Background: The short arm of chromosome 16 is highly susceptible to homologous recombination through nonallelic genes. This results in microdeletions/microduplications that can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders. However, incomplete penetrance and phenotypic diversity after birth exacerbate the uncertainty in prenatal genetic counseling.
