## Abstract Using highβresolution realβtime ultrasound in the first trimester of pregnancy, we have been able to demonstrate, in addition to the fetus, the yolk sac and the amniotic membrane. Pitfalls to avoid in firstβtrimester pregnancies include (a) mistaking the yolk sac for a second separate f

Abstract
Ultrasound scanning in early pregnancy sometimes reveals a 2β5βmm spheric structure lying adjacent to the fetus. The occurrence of this structure was studied in 60 consecutive ultrasound examinations. In the 7th to 9th weeks the sphere was seen in 19 of 22 examinations, and in the 10th and 11th weeks it was seen in 10 of 20 examinations. The sphere was not demonstrated in any of 18 examinations in the 12th to 14th weeks. It is believed that the spheric structure is the yolk sac.

A cross-sectional study comprising 117 consecutive first trimester singleton pregnancies was performed using transvaginal sonography (TVS) to evaluate size abnormalities of the secondary yolk sac (YS) vis-a-vis pregnancy outcome. In normal pregnancy outcome (NPO) the YS diameter showed an increase f
