It is characterized by the presence of a severely abnormal, nonviable acardiac twin and a structurally normal pump twin, which sustains the circulation of both fetuses through abnormal vascular placental anastomoses. This pictorial essay aims to illustrate the sonographic and Doppler findings associated with TRAP sequence, emphasizing the diagnostic prenatal features. Typical findings include the absence of cardiac activity in the acardiac twin, structural anomalies such as acardia, acrania, underdeveloped upper body, and paradoxical reversed flow patterns in the umbilical artery. Early diagnosis and close ultrasound monitoring are crucial for selecting antenatal treatment, including expectant management and fetal intervention. By presenting illustrative cases, this article provides a comprehensive overview to bolster the understanding of the different associated phenotypes and recognition of TRAP sequence amongst clinicians and sonographers.","PeriodicalId":15386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144078281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Doppler parameters-such as aortic isthmus flow index (IFI), systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D), pulsatility index (PI), and resistive index (RI)-were collected, and their associations with adverse perinatal outcomes were analyzed using ROC analysis.Results: In the EOPE group, gestational age, birth weight, and APGAR scores were significantly lower compared to the LOPE and control groups (p < 0.001). The EOPE group also showed significantly higher rates of NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) admission, preterm birth, respiratory distress syndrome, and need for mechanical ventilation (p < 0.001). The cut-off values for IFI (> 1.13) and AoI S/D (> 7.42) were found to be significant predictors of adverse perinatal outcomes.Conclusion: AoI Doppler parameters may aid in predicting adverse neonatal outcomes in pre-eclampsia patients. The values of IFI, S/D, PI, and RI show potential as useful tools in clinical management, especially in monitoring high-risk pregnancies.","PeriodicalId":15386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144078312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To assess the diagnostic performance of ultrasound for abdominal organ involvement, results were compared with other imaging findings.Results: Thirty-four patients (52.3%) exhibited abdominal organ involvement (liver, 40.0% [26/65]; spleen, 38.5% [25/65]; kidney, 12.3% [8/65]; pancreas, 6.2% [4/65]; and gastrointestinal tract, 7.7% [5/65]). Sonography could detect 22 of 26, 23 of 25, five of eight, three of four, and four of five cases of liver, spleen, renal, and pancreas involvement, respectively.
