Congenital Duodenal Stenosis: Prenatal Evaluation by Three-dimensional Ultrasound HDlive Silhouette Mode, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Postnatal Outcomes

The “double bubble” sign is a common sign of congenital duodenal obstruction (CDO), which has been detected during prenatal diagnosis for over 40 years. CDO is strongly associated with chromosomal and structural abnormalities and encompasses a wide spectrum of diagnoses. Here, we describe a case of duodenal stenosis, a rare cause of duodenal obstruction, which was suspected using conventional two-dimensional ultrasound and three-dimensional reconstruction with the HDlive silhouette mode at the 28^th prenatal week. The suspicion was further supported by magnetic resonance imaging performed at the 32^nd prenatal week and confirmed by postnatal surgery.

Three-dimensional ultrasonography by means of HDlive rendering in the first trimester of pregnancy: A pictorial review

Our objective was to describe early embryo/fetus anatomy and abnormalities provided by three and four-dimensional (3D/4D) ultrasound using HDlive rendering technology in the first trimester of pregnancy. Normal and pathologic embryonic and fetal volume data set with postprocessing using HDlive rendering mode. Virtual fetoscopic imaging of the normal and pathologic fetus even at early stage of development with increasing maternal-fetal bonding process. HDlive represents a novel and valuable lightening system for 3D/4D ultrasound application that may aid the prenatal interpretation of early congenital malformations although limitations and cautions are still needed for inclusion in obstetric clinical practice.
