Pregnancy after embolization therapy for uterine arteriovenous malformation.

OBJECTIVE: To describe childbearing prognosis following embolization therapy for uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM). DESIGN: Case report and review. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): Thirteen patients, including our case, who underwent pregnancy after embolization therapy for arteriovenous malformation. INTERVENTION(S): Two successive embolization procedures. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Childbearing prognosis following embolization therapy for uterine AVM. RESULT(S): Bilateral embolization was performed in seven patients. In four cases, including ours, two successive embolization procedures were required to treat the uterine AVM. The longest delay between embolization and pregnancy was 5 years and the shortest was six weeks. Two patients presented with postpartum hemorrhage which was treated medically. One neonate required resuscitation after delivery in the context of Listeria infection. CONCLUSION(S): Conservative management of uterine AVMs using embolization therapy is being increasingly developed. New embolization agents and hyperselective technical procedures aim at reducing morbidity related to such treatments and preserving reproductive capacity in women of childbearing age.

The value of three-dimensional ultrasonography in the screening of the fetal skeleton.

INTRODUCTION: 3D ultrasound is a new technical advance that gives complementary information to that provided by the 2D ultrasound. It may help to correctly diagnose fetal anomalies. VALUE OF 3D ULTRASOUND: Its major advantages are as follows: any section plane can be created within the volume, making it possible to realize sections perpendicular to the ultrasound beam; multiplanar view; storage of volumes that can be reviewed afterward and may be useful for educational purposes.

Three-dimensional sonoembryology.

Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound plays an important role in obstetrics, predominantly for assessing fetal anatomy. Presenting volume data in a standard anatomic orientation valuably assists both ultrasonographers and pregnant patients to recognize the anatomy more readily. Three-dimensional ultrasound is advantageous in studying normal embryonic and/or fetal development, as well as providing information for families at risk for specific congenital anomalies by confirming normality. This method offers advantages in assessing the embryo in the first trimester due to its ability to obtain multiplanar images through endovaginal volume acquisition. Rotation allows the systematic review of anatomic structures and early detection of fetal anomalies. Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging in vivo compliments pathologic and histologic evaluation of the developing embryo, giving rise to a new term: 3D sonoembryology. Rapid technological development will allow real-time 3D ultrasound to provide improved and expanded patient care on the one side, and increased knowledge of developmental anatomy on the other.

Prenatal sonographic patterns in six cases of Wolf-Hirschhorn (4p-) syndrome.

This multicentric study presents 6 cases of Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (deletion of 4p) detected after a sonographic prenatal diagnosis of early intrauterine growth retardation with fetal abnormalities. Standard karyotyping on regular G-banding during pregnancy was normal in half of the cases. Fortunately, the associated sonographic signs of a typical face, cystic cerebral lesions, midline fusion defects and bilateral renal hypoplasia may help to refine specific indications for high-resolution banding and molecular analysis by in situ hybridization.
