Views87See morePurpose: to evaluate safety and efficacy of intra-amniotic injection of methotrexate (MTX) for treatment of viable cervical pregnancy. Methods: four women with viable cervical pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound (US) were treated with transvaginal injection of MTX (1 mg/kg) under sonographic control. The follow-up was made with serial dosages of beta-hCG on days 1, 4 and 7 after injection and weekly until the titers were negative. Results: the patients were treated with success. The time for the titers of beta-hCG to become negative after the treatment was: 62 days (case 1), 84 days (case 2), 28 days (case 3) and 10 days (case 4). Conclusion: intra-amniotic injection of MTX can be used to avoid surgery in cases of viable cervical pregnancy.

Views81Congenital cytomegalovirus infection is an important clinical entity, due to its sonographic symptomatology. In Brazil, in utero diagnosis is not accomplished despite the improvements in diagnostic methods. We report a congenital infection including: splenomegaly and hepatomegaly, hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis, intracranial calcifications, hyperechoic kidneys, hyperechoic bowel, cardiomegaly, lung hypoplasia, ascites, and pericardial effusion. Fetal magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the sonographic findings. Amniocentesis was performed for cytomegalovirus PCR in amniotic fluid, which confirmed fetal infection. Fetal loss occurred in the 31st week of pregnancy. Necropsy studies confirmed the sonographic findings. The diagnostic methods have been useful to confirm congenital cytomegalovirus infection and to establish fetal outcome.

Views59See moreFetal cystic adenomatoid malformation is a pulmonary developmental anomaly arising from an overgrowth of the terminal respiratory bronchioles. This is such a rare malformation, that is not always thought of as a diagnostic possibility. We present a case of pulmonary cystic adenomatoid malformation and emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and therapeutic possibilities. We also present its evolution after prenatal placement of a catheter for continuous drainage.

Views55See moreTakayasu's arteritis is an idiopathic occlusive inflammation of the aorta and its major branches. The disease shows a striking predilection for young women and thus is occasionally associated with pregnancy. The authors describe a case of a pregnant patient with Takayasu's arteritis. The pregnancy was accompanied by a multidisciplinary group in a satisfactory way. There was only one hospitalization due to an exacerbation of the symptoms during the 32nd week of gestation, controlled by medical treatment. A vaginal delivery occurred at 37 weeks. A live infant weighing 2,750 g was delivered and the patient had an uncomplicated course.
