Supplement your learning for Obstetrics scanning beyond the fetus.

Join us for this engaging and informative course. Together with a panel of expert speakers from around the world, they will dive into the latest discourse surrounding ultrasound beyond the fetus. This course offers attendees a valuable opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the new advances in this area and learn how to apply them in practical situations.

Learning outcomes:

  1. Analyse current diagnostic criteria and evidence-based management strategies for placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum disorders.
  2. Interpret ultrasound findings of umbilical cord anomalies and correlate them with potential pregnancy outcomes.
  3. Demonstrate the application of advanced imaging techniques to assess the utero-placental interface and identify pathological changes.
  4. Appraise the impact of uterine conditions in pregnancy, including congenital anomalies, fibroids, and caesarean scar defects, on maternal–fetal health.
  5. Differentiate benign from malignant ovarian tumours in pregnancy and formulate appropriate management plans.
  6. Evaluate bladder and other pelvic pathologies during pregnancy using a systematic, evidence-based diagnostic approach.

Placenta Previa

Placenta previa is diagnosed when the placenta overlies or is close to the internal cervical os, obstructing delivery. The incidence is of 5 in 1000 deliveries and it has recently increased due to the rise in cesarean deliveries. PP is associated with a higher risk of adverse maternal outcomes.

Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorders: Abnormally Adherent and Invasive Placenta

The placenta accreta spectrum disorders include both abnormally adherent and invasive placenta. Targeted screening is essential for these disorders due to the association between low-lying or previa placenta and previous cesarean delivery. Prenatal diagnosis is possible by ultrasound.

Angiomyxoma

Angiomyxoma of Umbilical Cord

Angiomyxoma of the umbilical cord is a rare tumor that can be detected by Ultrasound prenatally as a complex solid-cystic mass.

Cesarean Scar Pregnancy

Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is an abnormal implantation of the gestational sac in the area of the prior caesarean delivery (CD) scar, potentially leading to life-threatening complications, including severe haemorrhage, uterine rupture and development of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders.

Dysmorphic Uterus

 A dysmorphic uterus includes subtypes T-shaped uterus and infantile uterus. It can be acquired or congenitally present.

Hemi-uterus.png

Hemi-uterus

The development of a hemi-uterus, also called unicornuate uterus, is due to complete or partial agenesis of a unilateral Mullerian duct.

Septate Uterus Image.png

Septate Uterus

Septate uterus is a congenital uterine anomaly due to defective resorption of the medial fusion of the Müllerian ducts. The uterus has a normal external uterine morphology and a septum dividing the uterine cavity. It is further classified as partial or complete septate uterus.
