Re: fetal echogenic bowelFrom: Philippe Jeanty, MD, PhD (jeanty@TheFetus.net)Wed Aug 4 09:56:22 2004
Nothing... just a normal variant. Probably a small placental hemorrhage with swallowed and undigested blood. I would reassure the parents -----Original Message----- From: ultrasound@obgyn.net [mailto:ultrasound@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Yiannis Nickolidakis Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2004 9:34 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ULTRASOUND Subject: fetal echogenic bowel An ultrasound scan during 18th week of a 29 years old healthy primigravida revealed certain fetal echogenic bowel. No other abnormalities were seen. She had no vaginal bleeding since now. Nuchal translucency on 12th week was <2mm. Triplo test shows 1:10.000 risk for Down syndrome. Serologic tests for congenital infections are negative. The pregnant is not carrier of a known mutation of cystic fibrosis gene. She is not positive to do an amniocentesis for fetal karyotyping. If this embryo has no Down syndrome, not cystic fibrosis, not congenital infection, what else could it has? Dr. Yiannis Nickolidakis Greece http://www.medpages.obgyn.net/geneticsunit.gr
