Abstract

This case report aims to highlight the significance of ultrasound imaging in the prenatal diagnosis of hygroma colli, a condition often associated with chromosomal abnormalities, particularly Turner Syndrome (45,XO). A 26-year-old primigravid woman at 17 weeks of gestation was referred for further evaluation of a fetal neck mass detected during routine ultrasound. The sonographic findings revealed a symmetrical, non-septated, hypoechoic cystic mass in the posterolateral region of the fetal neck, along with agenesis of one lung lobe. Based on these findings, pregnancy termination was planned and performed using misoprostol and laminaria insertion. The fetus was delivered with a birth weight of 150 g, a length of 14 cm, and Apgar Score 0/0. Postnatal examination confirmed the presence of hygroma colli, consistent with the ultrasound findings. This case reinforces the importance of early ultrasound screening in identifying fetal anomalies and guiding clinical decisions.

Abstract

This case report discusses the risk factors of anencephaly, a severe neural tube defect characterized by the absence of brain tissue and the skull. The study highlights the role of maternal obesity and folic acid deficiency as contributing factors. A 22-year-old woman (G3P0A2H0) at 26-27 weeks of gestation was diagnosed with an anencephalic fetus during an ultrasound examination, showing the ‘frog face’ sign. The patient had a history of two spontaneous abortions, a BMI of 30.4, and no folic acid supplementation. Pregnancy termination was planned and conducted using misoprostol, resulting in the delivery of a stillborn male fetus weighing 1500 g, with Apgar Score 0/0. The findings emphasize the importance of early folic acid supplementation and weight management in preventing neural tube defects. Pregnancy termination remains a viable option due to the poor prognosis associated with anencephaly.
