Abstract
Diagnosis of abdominal pregnancy continues to be a challenge, resulting in delays in diagnosis and decision making. We report 2 cases of abdominal pregnancy for which extended field of view sonography contributed to both diagnosis and management. The shortcomings of MRI with respect to localizing the site of placental attachment are also discussed. Β© 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Pregnancy within a noncommunicating rudimentary horn has a 70% chance of rupturing, with a maternal mortality of 0.5%. It is most commonly managed with operative removal of the horn. We report a pregnancy within a noncommunicating horn and highlight the advantage of early diagnosis via sonography. F
We have investigated the use of a 4-methylumbelliferone (MU)-derived artificial substrate, MU-a-D-Nsulphoglucosaminide, for the sulphamidase assay in chorionic villi and amniotic fluid cells. In the new two-step enzyme assay, fluorescent MU is released by the successive action of endogenous sulphami
