Objectives: To evaluate the effects of asymptomatic, mild and moderate Covid-19infection in the 1st and 2nd trimesters on pregnancy outcomes. Material andmethods: The study was performed among patients who applied to the PerinatologyDepartment of Izmir University of Health Sciences, between October 2021 andJuly 2022. Pregnant women who had asymptomatic, mild and moderate Covid-19infection in the 1st and 2nd trimesters were registered and their pregnancyprocesses were followed. Results: A total of 437 patients participated in the study.The numbers of asymptomatic, mild and moderate Covid-19 patients were 142, 157and 138, respectively. Each group was analyzed as 1st and 2nd trimester subgroupsaccording to the time of Covid-19 infection. The mean age of patients with moderateCovid-19 was higher than with mild/asymptomatic Covid-19 (p=0.021). Body massindex was found to be higher in patients...

Objective: To assess the role of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in fetusespresenting with isolated ventriculomegaly (IVM) in the ultrasound (US) evaluationof the fetal brain. Methods: US and MRI findings of 197 fetuses diagnosed withIVM between November 2018 and November 2020 were retrospectively evaluated.Fetuses with abnormal karyotypes, additional anomalies, or known etiologies forventriculomegaly were excluded. US and MRI findings were compared both in termsof mean ventricular measurements and IVM grade. Results: MRI measurementswere significantly higher in mild IMV (10.33 ± 0.38 mm vs. 11.11 ± 0.51 mm, p<0.001) compared to US. In mild IVM, MRI measured ventricles larger than US witha mean difference of 0.78 mm. There was no significant difference in US and MRImeasurements in terms of mean values in moderate and severe IVM. There wasgood agreement between US and MRI in d...

Introduction: Fetal cardiac tumors are rare and generally have a good prognosisdepending on location and size. Objective: To examine perinatal and postnataloutcomes along with ultrasound and genetic findings of fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma.Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a single tertiary center.Ten prenatally diagnosed cases of fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma were included inthe study. The data obtained included maternal characteristics, gestational age atdiagnosis, echocardiographic features including tumor size, number and location,other antenatal ultrasound findings, genetic and pathological examinations,gestational age at birth, neonatal outcomes, and postnatal long-term outcomes.Results: In half of the cases (five), multiple tumors were detected sonographically.Tumor sizes ranged from 5 to 38 millimeters (mm). Four (40%) of the cases hadadditional cardiac anomalies...
