Abstract
Objectives: To explore the value of applying flow high definition (HD) glass body in prenatal diagnosis of vasa previa and to preliminarily discuss the types of vasa previa.
Methods: Two-dimensional ultrasound, flow HD, and flow HD glass body were used to image the umbilical cord insertion site and placenta, observe the cervical internal os and surrounding areas, and retrospectively analyze cases of vasa previa.
Results: There were 15 cases of vasa previa, including 14 cases of singleton pregnancies and 1 case of twin pregnancy, with a total of 22 vasa previa, including 10 veins and 12 arteries. There was 1 case with 3 vessels, 5 cases with 2 vessels, and 9 cases with a single vessel. Among them, in 3 cases of vasa previa detected at 12, 14, and 24 weeks, respectively, the vasa previa were relocated to a normal position at 24, 29, and 35 weeks of gestation when re-examined. Routine 2-dimensional ultrasound examination in this group showed tubular or circular hypoechoic areas near the cervical internal os, but vasa previa could not be confirmed. Flow HD could display color blood flow at and near the cervical internal os in 15 cases, but it was difficult to continuously show the course and source of the blood vessels under the chorion. Flow HD glass body from multiple angles could display the relationship between 15 cases of 22 vasa previa and the placenta and cervix. Combined with color Doppler blood flow spectra, flow HD glass body could determine the types of vasa previa.
Conclusions: Flow HD glass body imaging can clearly display vasa previa, showing their origin and the spatial relationship with the cervix and placenta in a 3-dimensional manner, displaying the course and attachment points of umbilical vessels under the chorion. It can observe the area of interest at any angle, and combined with color Doppler blood flow spectra, it can judge the vasa previa of the umbilical vein, providing a more definite imaging basis for clinical management.
