Three-dimensional HDlive imaging of an umbilical cord cyst.
Journal of Medical Ultrasonics 2018 April
Umbilical cord cysts (UCC) are a rare congenital malformation. Previous reports have suggested that the second- and third-trimester UCC may be associated with other structural anomalies or chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, high-quality imaging is clinically important for the antenatal diagnosis of UCC and to conduct a precise anatomical survey of intrauterine abnormalities. There have been few reports of antenatal diagnosis of UCC with the conventional two- and three-dimensional ultrasonography. In this report, we demonstrate the novel visual depiction of UCC in utero with three-dimensional HDlive imaging, which helps substantially with prenatal diagnosis. A case with an abnormal placental mass at 16 weeks and 5 days of gestation was observed in detail using HDlive. HDlive revealed very realistic images of the intrauterine abnormality: the oval lesion was smooth with regular contours and a homogenous wall at the site of cord insertion on the placenta. In addition, we confirmed the absent of umbilical cord, placental, and fetal structural anomalies. Here, we report a case wherein HDlive may have provided clinically valuable information for prenatal diagnosis of UCC and offered a potential advantage relative to the conventional US.
