UOG video abstract: Growth velocity of fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma as predictor of perinatal morbidity and mortality
New UOG Journal video abstract on a multicenter study aiming to identify prenatal predictors of poor perinatal outcome, defined as intrauterine fetal demise, termination of pregnancy, neonatal demise or severe compromise (development of hemorrhagic shock), in fetuses with isolated sacrococcygeal teratoma.
February 2025 UOG Highlights
The February issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review on the accuracy of cell-free fetal DNA in detecting chromosomal anomalies in twin pregnancy, an evaluation of the 36-week scan for diagnosis and outcome of abnormal fetal presentation, a MATERA study reporting the use of maternal ophthalmic artery Doppler indices as a predictor for pre-eclampsia and a consensus opinion providing a systematic methodology for ultrasonographic assessment of lymph nodes to assess the extent of gynecological malignancy.
