✦ Synopsis

T he prenatal sonographic demonstration of congenital anomalies of the intrahepatic umbilical vascularization is uncommon. Most reported cases have been of the persistence of the right umbilical vein. [1][2][3][4][5] Congenital absence of the ductus venosus has been reported on rare occasions in the pediatric age group, 6,7 but only recently have cases of an anomalous course of the umbilical vein or absent ductus venosus been reported in a fetus. [7][8][9] We report the in utero sonographic diagnosis of the congenital absence of the ductus venosus that was associated with abnormal intrahepatic venous circulation and a favorable neonatal outcome.

Discussion

During gestation, the ductus venosus connects the umbilical vein with the left portal system and

## Abstract Prenatal identification of lung abnormalities has increased with prenatal surveillance. Treatment usually requires serial ultrasound observation but in rare situations in utero therapy may be required for fetal survival. We review the genetics, prenatal evaluation, and treatment of lung
