## Abstract We report the prenatal diagnosis of 6 cases of Prune‐belly syndrome in the 2^nd^ trimester. The sonographic diagnosis was based on the findings of oligohydramnios, renal anomalies, and a lower abdominal cystic mass representing the abnormal dilatation of the bladder on conventional 2‐di

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
We describe the 2‐dimensional and 3‐dimensional multiplanar sonographic diagnosis and characterization of isolated hepatic cysts in 2 fetuses. Two‐dimensional imaging of a fetus at 36 weeks' gestation revealed 2 right upper quadrant cystic masses anterior to the gallbladder, demonstrating no peristalsis or blood flow. Postnatal sonographic examination confirmed 2 simple hepatic cysts. Two‐ and three‐dimensional sonograms suggested 2 hepatic cysts in a 23‐week‐old fetus that resolved by 33 weeks' gestation. In reporting 2 unusual cases of prenatally diagnosed fetal hepatic cysts, we also demonstrate the diagnostic use of 3‐dimensional multiplanar imaging. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the sonographic characteristics of alobar holoprosencephaly (AH) in utero. Seventeen cases were diagnosed at 16-30 weeks' gestation by two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasound from October 1994 to December 1998. In this series, the prenatal prevalence was
