Prenatal Diagnosis of Cloacal Exstrophy: A Case Report and Differential Diagnosis with a Simple Omphalocele
We reported a case with cloacal exstrophy and reviewed previous literature on differentiating it from an omphalocele. A 33-year-old, pregnant female visited our outpatient center for prenatal care at the 22nd gestational week. The midtrimester ultrasound showed fetal anomalies including a protruding mass from umbilicus, absence of bladder, ambiguous genitalia, and bilateral renal hydronephrosis. The parents received prenatal genetic counseling and decided to continue the pregnancy. A female baby was delivered at the 37th gestational week via vaginal delivery, and cloacal exstrophy without omphalocele was diagnosed. Cloacal...

Microbubble-enhanced Focused Ultrasound-induced Blood–brain Barrier Opening for Local and Transient Drug Delivery in Central Nervous System Disease
Publication date: Available online 17 December 2014 Source:Journal of Medical Ultrasound Author(s): Ching-Hsiang Fan , Chih-Kuang Yeh The blood–brain barrier is a specialized protective structure in the central nervous system, which is critical for maintaining brain homeostasis and low permeability to control the passage of molecules from the circulation into the brain parenchyma and the efflux from the brain. However, the blood–brain barrier also hinders the transportation of therapeutic agents and contrast agents from the blood into brain tissue, lowering treatment efficiency. Recently, focused ultrasound sonic...

Prenatal Diagnosis and Management for Congenital Intrapericardial Diaphragmatic Hernia with Massive Cardiac Effusion: A Case Report and Literature Review
We report on the imaging features of such a case that was diagnosed in utero. The prognosis of congenital intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia is better than the other types of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, but lung hypoplasia due to compression by the pericardial effusion is not uncommon. Early intervention and treatment should be given to improve the perinatal outcome once the prenatal diagnosis has been made. We have summarized current diagnostic methods and management for this rare phenotype, after reviewing previous case reports and articles relating to the intervention for congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Ultrasonography in Early Diagnosis of Heterotopic Ossification
We report here the case of a 32-year-old man with a history of traumatic brain injury who presented with swelling of his right thigh. Soft tissue ultrasonography performed 3 days after the onset of symptoms showed a heterogeneous hyperechoic lesion with the formation of cysts and hypervascularity in the right iliopsoas abutting the surface of the femoral bone. This became a diffuse echogenic plaque with a posterior acoustic shadowing 12 days later. A diagnosis of heterotopic ossification was made on the basis of the presence of typical ultrasonographic findings and was confirmed by pathology. We emphasize that an early dia...

Introduction of Routine Obstetric Ultrasound in an Urban Health Center: Results and Benefits
Conclusion Maternal morbidity and mortality can be reduced by early detection of missed abortion, placenta previa, twin pregnancy, and molar pregnancy by routine obstetric ultrasound at booking visit. Routine obstetric ultrasound at the first and second trimesters had obvious benefits in confirming the expected date of delivery in a community where remembering the last menstrual period was not a priority. Introduction of this procedure helped in appropriate management of post-term pregnancies. (Source: Journal of Medical Ultrasound)
