This video shows Multiple Fetal anomalies, including Macroglossia, Polyhydramnios, bilateral Cystic prominences adjacent to the fetal orbits, Depressed nose, Meconium stained amniotic fluid, Meconium stained amniotic fluid ultrasound, and clenched hands.
Fetal anomalies, including Macroglossia, Polyhydramnios, bilateral Cystic prominences adjacent to the fetal orbits, Depressed nose, and clenched hands, with Pregnancy of about 35 weeks.
Amniotic fluid is increased in volume. AFI value is 36.
Macroglossia is the medical term for when a child is born with an enlarged tongue. It is one of the most common features of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS), affecting around 90 percent of children with a congenital disorder.
Macroglossia is the medical term for an unusually large tongue. Enlargement of the tongue can cause cosmetic and functional difficulties while speaking, eating, swallowing, and sleeping. It's quite uncommon.
Hypoglossia is a short, incompletely developed tongue. It can occur either as an isolated malformation or in association with other deformities, particularly limb defects in a syndrome known as oromandibular limb hypogenesis syndrome.
Posterior displacement of the tongue into the pharynx, i.e., a tongue that is mislocalized posteriorly is called Glossoptosis.
It has been suggested that meconium-stained amniotic fluid can be detected in the antepartum period using ultrasound, based on the following findings:
(1) A diffuse echogenic pattern throughout the amniotic cavity.
(2) A clear contrast between the amniotic fluid and the umbilical cord.
(3) Layering in the more dependent areas.
Amniotic fluid generally appears echo-free, although occasionally echogenic fluid particles may be seen. The fluid particles may represent a normal variant, particulate matter, vernix caseosa, intraamniotic blood, or intrauterine meconium passage.
Polyhydramnios occurs in about 1 to 2 percent of pregnancies. Most cases of polyhydramnios are mild and result from a gradual buildup of amniotic fluid during the second half of pregnancy. Severe polyhydramnios may cause shortness of breath, preterm labor, or other signs and symptoms.
As a rule of thumb, polyhydramnios is usually diagnosed with an AFI over 24 or a big pocket of fluid on the ultrasound of over 8 cm. Polyhydramnios is estimated to occur in only about 1 to 2 percent of pregnancies.
Remember polyhydramnios is not usually a sign of something serious. But you should get plenty of rest, if you work you might consider starting your maternity leave early. Speak to your doctor or midwife about your birth plan, including what to do if your waters break or labor starts earlier than expected.
Women with Polyhydramnios may experience premature contractions, longer labor, difficulties breathing, and other problems during delivery. The condition can also cause complications for the fetus, including anatomical problems, malposition, and, in severe cases, death. Treatment aims to remove the excess amniotic fluid.
Genetic abnormalities Babies with very high fluid levels are more likely to have a genetic abnormality such as Down syndrome.
Persistent polyhydramnios has been associated with fetal aneuploidy,7 and polyhydramnios at birth has been associated with preterm delivery, unstable lie, malpresentation,4 cord prolapse, and placental abruption.
A larger than expected fundal height could be a sign of fetal macrosomia. Excessive amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios). Having too much amniotic fluid - the fluid that surrounds and protects a baby during pregnancy - might be a sign that your baby is larger than average.
The fetal membrane is composed of a thick cellular chorion covering a thin amnion composed of dense collagen fibrils. The amnion is in contact with the amniotic fluid and ensures the structural integrity of the sac due to its mechanical strength.
The risk of the following complications is increased With polyhydramnios:
1). Preterm contractions and possibly preterm labor.
2). Premature rupture of membranes, sometimes followed by abruptio placentae.
3). Fetal malposition.
4). Maternal respiratory compromise.
5). Umbilical cord prolapse.
6). Uterine atony.
7). Postpartum hemorrhage.
Drink more fluids. Anytime during your pregnancy, drinking a lot of water can make a huge difference. According to one study, hydration is very helpful for upping amniotic fluid levels in women between 37 and 41 weeks of pregnancy.
