A Case Report on Prenatal Diagnosis of Evolving Cortical Malformations: A Rare Ultrasound Marker
Abstract Malformations of cortical development are rarely diagnosed in utero. Cortical malformations are aberrations in the process of corticogenesis. We report two rare and unique cases of evolving cortical malformation with unusual ultrasonogram markers: (1) narrow cavum septum pellucidum and (2) ill-defined and irregular lateral ventricular borders on the midtrimester anomaly scan. This was further confirmed by fetal brain evaluation on magnetic resonance imaging with additional information on irregular ventricular borders, scattered hyperintensities in the cerebral parenchyma and periventricular area, loss of cerebral layering pattern at 24 weeks gestation in one case, and hemimegalencephaly in another case with a probable diagnosis of evolving cortical malformation. Literature review reveals the above as an unusual presentation on the anomaly scan.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Fetal Medicine is the official journal of the Society of Fetal Medicine affiliated with International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology. This is a peer-reviewed international journal featuring articles with special interest to fetal medicine specialists, geneticists and ulstrasonologists. The aim of the journal is to communicate the results of original research in the field of fetal medicine. It includes a variety of articles suitable for clinicians and scientific specialists concerned with diagnosis and therapy of fetal disorders. All articles on health promotion of the fetus are acceptable for publication. The major focus is on highlighting the work that has been carried out in India and other developing countries. It also includes articles written by experts from the West. Types of articles published: - Original research articles related to fetal care and basic research - Review articles - Consensus guidelines for diagnosis and treatment - Case reports - Images in Fetal Medicine - Brief communications
