The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) recommends that pregnant women have routine obstetric ultrasounds between 18 weeks' and 22 weeks' gestational age (the anatomy scan) in order to confirm pregnancy dating, to measure the fetus so that growth abnormalities can be recognized quickly later in pregnancy ...
Fetus in fetu (or foetus in foetu) is a rare developmental abnormality in which a mass of tissue resembling a fetus forms inside the body of its twin. An early example of the phenomenon was described in 1808 by George William Young. [ 1] There are two hypotheses for the origin of a "fetus in fetu". One hypothesis is that the mass begins as a ...
Sacrococcygeal teratoma ( SCT) is a type of tumor known as a teratoma that develops at the base of the coccyx (tailbone) and is thought to be primarily derived from remnants of the primitive streak. [ 1] Sacrococcygeal teratomas are benign 75% of the time, malignant 12% of the time, and the remainder are considered "immature teratomas" that ...
Nuchal translucency. Purpose. Used to screen for abnormalities in a developing fetus. A nuchal scan or nuchal translucency ( NT) scan / procedure is a sonographic prenatal screening scan ( ultrasound) to detect chromosomal abnormalities in a fetus, though altered extracellular matrix composition and limited lymphatic drainage can also be detected.
Acrania. Acrania is a rare congenital disorder that occurs in the human fetus in which the flat bones in the cranial vault are either completely or partially absent.

According to Dr. Nathan Sundgren, associate medical director of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) who treated the babies, the sisters are now all between 6.5 to 7 pounds, and "doing great."
Biophysical profile. A biophysical profile ( BPP) is a prenatal ultrasound evaluation of fetal well-being involving a scoring system, [ 1] with the score being termed Manning's score.[ 2] It is often done when a non-stress test (NST) is non reactive, or for other obstetrical indications. The "modified biophysical profile" consists of the NST ...
