Assessment of fetal lung volumes and liver herniation with magnetic resonance imaging in congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Article Abstract:

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can show whether the liver is projecting through a hernia in the fetal diaphragm. This information can be used in turn to predict the baby's outcome. The diaphragm is a large abdominal muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen.

Intrapartum airway management for giant fetal neck masses: the EXIT (ex utero imtrapartum treatment) procedure

Article Abstract:

Prenatal imaging scans appear to be useful in identifying potential candidates for an ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure. This procedure appears to be an effective way to establish an airway in newborns with large neck tumors. Airways were successfully established with an EXIT procedure in four of five newborns with large teratomas or lymphangiomas. Prenatal ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging was used to identify nearly all of these affected infants. The EXIT procedure took a average of 28 minutes.
