This is a twin pregnancy, scanned for the first time at 31w2d. The liver of Fetus A was hypoechoic, with echogenic portal triads throughout the entire liver. Liver size and location was appropriate. This was the only unusual finding for that fetus. Fetus B appeared completely normal. I wasn't able to determine chorionicity, but there is a membrane between them. Both fetuses are female. I don't have an image for you. But it looked just like the liver of an adult with hepatitis. Any ideas?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
