Serous fluids from cystic hygromas, pleural effusions, and ascites are an easily accessible and plentiful source of lymphocytes. The feasibility and reliability of using these as alternative sources to conventional amniotic fluid or fetal blood cultures have been studied here. In some cases of prena

A two-phase study was undertaken to examine the efficiency of using transcervical cells (TCCs) collected by uterine lavage and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for early prenatal diagnosis of fetal chromosome aneuploidy. Uterine lavage was performed in 50 women scheduled for elective termin
We report 2 cases of Cantrell's pentalogy with cystic hygroma diagnosed in the first trimester of pregnancy. Both fetuses had ectopia cordis, omphalocele, a sternal defect, and cystic hygroma detected by sonography. Cystic hygroma may be another characteristic of Cantrell's pentalogy in the first tr
