✦ Synopsis

Prenatal identification of hand and foot anomalies is important in view of their association with chromosomal abnormalities and genetic syndromes. 1 In this report we describe the prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of a hallux duplication in a second-trimester detailed scan. To our knowledge, this report documents the first case of this rare form of preaxial polydactyly of the foot to be detected prenatally.

Fetal echocardiography, performed on a 22-year-old woman at 31 weeks' gestation, revealed a diverticulum of the left atrium. The size of the diverticulum was similar to the size of the fetal heart in a four-chamber view. No evidence of congestive heart failure or changes in size of the diverticulum

In Sardinia, fetal karyotyping for couples at risk for -thalassaemia is offered only to women \_35 years and for specific risk of chromosomopathies. This policy is not easily accepted by the couples who insistently request additional karyotyping. In order to select those at highest risk of chromosom

Lysosomal storage diseases are a rare but significant cause of non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF). In 17 cases of NIHF detected by ultrasound, the activity of five lysosomal enzymes was measured in leukocytes or plasma of 1 ml of fetal blood obtained by cordocentesis. By this approach seven lysosomal

Prenatal ultrasonography is the primary imaging modality in pregnancy as it allows direct real-time fetal examination. Antenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has so far been of limited clinical value owing to poor image quality. This was due to the long acquisition times that were needed to achi
