Atresia is a condition where a body passage, like the esophagus or intestine, is abnormally closed or absent before birth. It’s typically detected through prenatal imaging and requires coordinated care for treatment after delivery.
Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion (TRAP) is a rare complication in identical twin pregnancies where one twin lacks a functioning heart and relies on the other for blood flow. This puts the healthy twin at risk of heart failure and often requires fetal intervention.
Fetal cardiac abnormalities can refer to structural or functional defects in the developing heart that can range from mild to severe. These issues are typically detected through prenatal imaging and may require monitoring, early intervention, or surgery after birth.
Cleft lip and cleft palate are birth defects where the upper lip or roof of the mouth doesn't form properly during early pregnancy. Babies with these treatable conditions benefit greatly from highly skilled, timely intervention.
Twin pregnancies carry a higher risk of complication when compared to single pregnancies, with unique conditions such as Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), selective growth restriction, and increased chances of preterm birth. Early diagnosis and careful monitoring are key to managing these risks effectively.
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a condition where an opening in the diaphragm lets abdominal organs enter the chest, affecting lung development. It’s often diagnosed before birth and may require surgical intervention and specialized care.
Abdominal cysts in fetuses are fluid-filled sacs that can form in various abdominal organs and are often detected during routine prenatal ultrasounds. While some cysts resolve on their own, others may require monitoring or postnatal intervention depending on their size, location, and potential complications.
Fetal lung masses are abnormal growths in a baby’s lungs that may impact breathing and heart function depending on their size and location. They are typically found during prenatal imaging and may require close monitoring or surgical treatment.
Gastroschisis is a congenital condition where a baby’s intestines develop outside the body through an opening in the abdominal wall. It is typically diagnosed via prenatal ultrasound and often requires surgical correction shortly after birth.
Multiple pregnancies involve carrying more than one fetus, such as twins or triplets, and come with increased risks like preterm birth, growth issues, and pregnancy complications. These pregnancies require close monitoring, specialized care, and timely interventions to ensure the best outcomes for both the mother and babies.
Pleural effusion in fetuses involve fluid buildup around the lungs, often signaling other health concerns. Early detection through prenatal imaging is crucial for determining appropriate intervention.
Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a rare tumor that forms at the base of the spine in fetuses. It can be detected early via prenatal ultrasound and often requires surgical intervention after birth.
Skeletal dysplasias are a group of genetic disorders affecting bone and cartilage development, leading to skeletal deformities. These conditions can be identified through prenatal imaging, allowing for early intervention and management.
Spina bifida is a neural tube defect where the spine doesn't fully form before birth, leading to potential physical and neurological challenges. It can be diagnosed prenatally and managed through surgery and therapies after birth. Early detection helps in planning appropriate interventions for better outcomes.
