Fetal renal size late in the first trimester of pregnancy was evaluated by transvaginal ultrasonography in 50 patients not at risk for congenital kidney disease and whose pregnancies resulted in a normal outcome. Both kidneys were reliably identified in all patients scanned at 12 weeks, 13 weeks, an

Makrydimas and colleagues recently reported two cases of subcutaneous edema in the back of the fetal neck at 10-14 weeks associated with osteogenesis imperfecta [Makrydimas et al., 2001]. We report a very similar case we have observed at 13 and 16 weeks in a pregnancy without any family risk. A hea
## Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the use of transvaginal sonography to detect retained products of conception after first-trimester spontaneous abortion. ## Methods: All women who arrived at our hospital with spontaneous first-trimester abortions were included in this study and und
We decided to assess the practicability of introducing nuchal translucency (NT) measurements as a screening programme for fetal Down's syndrome in the first trimester of pregnancy, within the population of women who receive ultrasound examinations in our department. Over a l-year period, measurement
We have interviewed 83 couples at risk for a haemoglobin disorder, mostly -thalassaemia, in an effort to evaluate their attitude towards first-trimester prenatal diagnosis. Most of the families had received poor education and were of low socio-economic status and more than half of the couples were n
