Intravenous leiomyomatosis of the uterus: A clinicopathological analysis of nine cases and literature review
Intravenous/intravascular leiomyomatosis is characterized by intravenous proliferation of a histologically benign smooth muscle cell tumor mass that is non-tissue-invasive. Although benign, intravenous leiomyomatosis may cause remarkable systematic complications, presents significant diagnostic difficulties, and also is characterized by a relatively increased possibility of recurrence. We determine patients ’ characteristics, and recurrence and treatment of intravenous leiomyomatosis. (Source: Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Does exist a correlation between endometriosis and thrombophilic disorders? A pilot study
At present, there is growing evidence of the existence of a genetic predisposition in both thrombophilic disorders and endometriosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate for the first time the prevalence of some thrombophilic disorders in patients with endometriosis. (Source: Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Can biparietal diameter-to-femur length ratio be a useful sonographic marker for screening thanatophoric dysplasia since the first trimester? A literature review of case reports and a retrospective study based on 10,293 routine fetal biometry measurements
The aim of the study was to determine whether the biparietal diameter/femur length (BPD/FL) ratio can be used to detect thanatophoric dysplasia in the first trimester of pregnancy. (Source: Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Prenatal treatment of severe fetal hemolytic disease due to anti-M alloimmunization by serial intrauterine transfusions
Fetal hemolytic disease is a common cause of fetal hydrops and fetal morbidity and mortality. Despite its relatively low frequency, the anti-M IgG antibody is one of the causes of severe fetal anemia and intrauterine death; only a few cases have been reported.

Prenatal diagnosis of Joubert syndrome by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging – report of three cases
Three pregnant women were detected with their fetuses showing abnormalities in the mid-hindbrain by prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination. The “molar tooth sign” appeared between the superior cerebellar peduncle and the midbrain. These fetuses were all diagnosed with Joubert syndrome with MRI. The diagnosis of Joubert syndrome during pregnancy is very rare. MRI examination during pregnancy is very important for the diagnosis of Joubert syndrome. The “molar tooth sign” and the crevice between the hemispherium cerebelli can be used for early detection of Joubert syndrome. (Source: Taiwa...

Molecular cytogenetic characterization of mosaicism for a small supernumerary marker chromosome derived from chromosome 7 in the male partner of a phenotypically normal couple with repeated spontaneous abortions
A non-consanguineous infertile couple was referred for genetic counseling because of two spontaneous abortions. The couple had two natural conceptions ending in spontaneous abortions. The wife was 36 years old, and the husband was 41 years old. The woman did not have any child and had undergone assisted reproductive technology because of infertility. The urological, gynecological and infectious investigations of the couple revealed normal results. Cytogenetic analysis of the couple' peripheral bloods revealed a karyotype of 46,XX in the wife and a karyotype of 47,XY+mar[14]/46,XY[26] in the husband. (Source: Taiwanese Jour...

The male propositus was the first child of a healthy unrelated couple. The mother was 32  years old, and the father was 37 years old at his birth. There was no family history of congenital malformations. The pregnancy was uncomplicated and associated with unremarkable prenatal ultrasound findings. He was born at 39 weeks by cesarean section due to breech presentation. Birth weight wa s 2740 g, length was 49 cm, and head circumference was 33.5 cm. After birth, he was found to have severe proptosis, bilateral hearing loss, brachycephaly, hypertelorism, broad big toes and thumbs, low-set ears, and midface hypoplasia (Fi...
