Unrecognized biliary tract obstruction due to choledochal cysts or biliary atresia can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis in utero of choledochal cyst allows prompt postnatal diagnostic evaluation and appropriate surgical therapy to be instituted early in life. This may minimiz

Abstract
Choledochal cyst is one of the intraβabdominal abnormalities of the biliary ducts that present as a cystic mass in the right upper quadrant abdomen. Prenatal diagnosis has been achieved by the demonstration of a connection between a dilated common bile duct and a cystic lesion. In this report, we describe a pregnant woman in whom routine fetal anomaly scan strongly suggested a choledochal cyst at 29 weeks of gestation by demonstrating a round cystic mass in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, completely separated from the stomach, bowel loops, and gall bladder, and which showed a connection with the dilated common bile duct.

## Abstract We describe the abnormal sonographic findings in the brain of a 26βweek fetus, which increased the suspicion of isolated lissencephaly. Followβup ultrasound examination and MRI depicted diffuse cortical agyria, microcephaly, hypotelorism, and proptosis. Cordocentesis showed a normal 46,
Primary benign intracardiac tumours in the infant period are rare. We report a case of a cardiac osteoma detected at 17 weeks of gestation. Ultrasonographically, it appeared as a calcified mass with a sharp margin and was associated with hypoplastic right ventricle. The gross and histological findin
