Comment
Etiology and Incidence
A rare but important placental abnormality is shown in this case—the presence of a succenturiate lobe. A succenturiate lobe is an accessory placental lobe that is removed from, but
is in vascular continuity with, the main placenta. Fetal vessels under the amniochorionic membranes connect this accessory lobe to the main placenta. This anomaly is reported to occur in 0.28% of pregnancies. The etiology is a regional failure of placental villi to atrophy.
Ultrasound Imaging
Despite its rarity, a succenturiate lobe is an important abnor­mality to detect on prenatal ultrasound. Ultrasound can detect and localize the accessory placenta.
Prognosis
Several serious complications can ensue if a succenturiate lobe is not detected. Prenatally and during labor, the connecting vessels can rupture, leading to life-threatening fetal hemor­rhage. A vasa previa (fetal hemorrhage) can develop at the time of labor and delivery if these vessels are over the internal cer­vical os. If the succenturiate lobe is not delivered, it can lead to postpartum maternal hemorrhage and infection. A succenturi­ate lobe should be suspected at the time of delivery if severed fetal vessels are present at the torn edge of the membranes of the placenta.

Comment
Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome
TTT syndrome is a serious complication in 10% to 15% of monochorionic gestations and is a heterogeneous disorder in its clinical manifestations and progress. TTT is strictly dened by interconnecting placental vessels between the two twins, which result in umbilical arteriovenous shunting of blood from one twin to the other (Figures A and B). When signif­icant shunting occurs, one twin (donor) becomes small and
develops anemia and oligohydramnios (Figure B). The other twin (recipient) enlarges and develops polycythemia, volume overload, heart failure, and polyhydramnios (Figure A). In the most severe form of TTT, the smaller twin can become stuck to the intervening membrane, with a very high mortality rate (Figure C). A high preterm birth rate typies TTT.
Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound criteria for TTT include monochorionic twinning (a monochorionic [fused] placenta), twins of the same gender, and a growth discordance between the twins of at least 20%. Polyhydramnios is often present in the larger sac, and oligohy­dramnios is present in the smaller sac. Oligohydramnios may be so severe that the “stuck” fetus is difcult to identify. Ultra­sound evaluation of this syndrome should begin in the second trimester.
Complications
The recipient twin is subject to several complications. Cardio­megaly results from biventricular hypertrophy and dilation. Tricuspid regurgitation is often present (Figure D). If the donor twin dies, the recipient can experience an embolic phe­nomenon through the arteriovenous connections, resulting in cerebral damage. Color Doppler ultrasound evaluation of the placenta has largely failed to identify the signicant vascular connections. Laser therapy performed as laser coagulation of chorionic plate anastomoses has altered recipient growth pat­terns toward a decrease, while not altering donor growth pat­terns. Less twin discordance has resulted. Donor twins have been found to have a higher rate of noncardiac anomalies compared with the recipient twins after laser therapy.

Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis of nuchal thickening (Figure A) includes a nding in a normal fetus, trisomy 21, and other chro­mosomal abnormalities, including trisomy 13, trisomy 18, and Turner syndrome (45,XO). When increased nuchal thickness is a solitary nding, the differential diagnosis is broad. When nuchal thickening is the only ultrasound nding detected, bio­chemical markers and maternal age must be considered for the best risk assessment in these pregnancies.
Ultrasound Findings
Several anatomic abnormalities have a strong association with trisomy 21, including endocardial cushion defect (which is dis­cussed in more detail in Case 43: Endocardial Cushion Defect) and duodenal atresia (which is discussed in more detail in Case 15:
Duodenal Atresia). Some of the basic ndings in trisomy 21 are presented in Case 35.
Endocardial cushion defect consists of a large defect involving the inferior portion of the atrial septum and the pos­terior portion of the ventricular septum. There is one com­mon atrioventricular valve instead of two separate valves. The defect can be accurately diagnosed by using the four-chamber view. The double bubble sign of duodenal atresia on prena­tal ultrasound represents an amniotic uid–lled stomach and duodenum. It is important to show continuity between the two bubbles to exclude other causes of an abnormal cystic mass, such as a choledochal cyst. A dilated duodenum should be persistently visible for several minutes because peristalsis can cause transient dilation.
Commonly used markers of trisomy 21 on prenatal ultra­sound are heart defects, duodenal atresia, hydrops, thick nuchal fold (Figure A), absent or short nasal bone, short long bones, echogenic bowel, echogenic intracardiac focus, and pyelectasis (Figure B). Less commonly used markers are wide iliac angle, at facies (Figure C), sandal gap foot (Figure D), short frontal lobe, clinodactyly, brachycephaly, small ears, and small cerebel­lar diameter.
Hyperechoic bowel refers to fetal bowel that is as bright as bone. Echogenicity of the bowel depends on the frequency of the transducer and ultrasound technical factors; this is a subjective nding that can be difcult to use. Sandal gap defor­mity (Figure D), which is medial displacement of the great toe giving rise to greater than normal space between the rst and second toes, and clinodactyly, which is curvature of the fth nger toward the adjacent fourth nger, are two of the mus­culoskeletal markers of trisomy 21.
Prognosis and Management
A cluster of ultrasound markers on prenatal examination greatly increases the likelihood that the patient is in a high-risk category. A normal ultrasound examination with no markers reduces the risk of fetal Down syndrome by 50% to 80%. This information can be used to reassure patients and enable them to forgo invasive procedures.

Comment
Differential Diagnosis
The most likely differential diagnosis in this case would be autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. In this entity, there are bilateral enlarged echogenic kidneys. Very rarely, adult polycystic kidney disease may be detected in the third tri­mester of pregnancy with slightly enlarged echogenic kidneys. Meckel-Gruber syndrome also has bilateral enlarged echogenic kidneys but with polydactyly and an encephalocele. Beckwith­Wiedemann syndrome may have enlarged echogenic kidneys with macrosomia, an enlarged liver and spleen, macroglossia,
and occasionally an omphalocele. Trisomy 13 and other syn­dromes may have enlarged echogenic kidneys. Rarely, cyto­megalic inclusion virus may manifest with enlarged echogenic kidneys, but it is also associated with other features such as microcephaly, enlarged cerebral ventricles, and intracranial calcications.
Ultrasound Findings
Ultrasound ndings of infantile polycystic kidney disease are classic as in this case with bilaterally enlarged echogenic kid­neys, associated oligohydramnios, and absent or small bladder (Figures A and B). Other entities included in the differential diagnosis usually have a normal amount of amniotic uid except for Meckel-Gruber syndrome, which is associated with oligohydramnios. Also, in less severe forms of infantile poly­cystic kidney disease, the amniotic uid amount may be nor­mal and a urinary bladder may be present. MRI may be useful in these cases (Figure C).
Prognosis and Management
The prognosis for the perinatal form of infantile polycystic kidney disease is dismal. Affected newborns die within hours to weeks after birth. There is an association of pulmonary hypoplasia owing to oligohydramnios with poor lung devel­opment. In addition, these fetuses have renal failure. Less severe forms of infantile polycystic kidney disease, including juvenile forms, have a better prognosis. The less severe forms of disease have less severe renal involvement; however, they have more severe hepatic brosis and associated liver disease, including portal hypertension and its complications. In cases with a family history of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, the outlook is poor. In cases with a family history, the karyotype would be known. In other cases, karyotyping may be helpful, especially if a particular syndrome is suspected.

Definition
Endometriosis is a disorder in which benign endometrial glands and stroma are located outside of the uterus (Figures A to D). The diagnosis is made denitively with laparoscopy. Implants of endometrial tissue are commonly seen on the ovary, uterus, and ligament in the cul-de-sac and can be found less commonly on the rectosigmoid colon, bladder (Figures B to D), cervix, and vagina. Small implants are not seen with ultrasound, accounting
for the low sensitivity of ultrasound to detect endometriosis. MRI has been shown to be more sensitive because of the abil­ity to detect small endometriomas (<1 cm) and to characterize blood accurately based on signal intensity. In addition, MRI can reveal implants or evidence of hemosiderin along the perito­neum and adhesions that are the sequelae of endometriosis. Endometriosis can seed abdominal scars.
Ultrasound Imaging
An endometrioma is a cyst that contains altered blood, usu­ally arises from an ovary, and is often bilateral. On ultrasound, endometriomas usually have internal echoes and often have homogeneous low-level echoes (Figure A). The internal mate­rial can be hyperechoic. Internal septations or uid-uid levels may be present. There are usually no solid components. Blood ow on Doppler is not seen in ne septations but can be seen in thick septations. An endometrioma is the only form of endometriosis that can be readily diagnosed with transvaginal ultrasound. Initial follow-up is in 6 to 12 weeks and then yearly if the endometrioma is not removed.
MRI
Endometriomas are often hyperintense on T1-weighted MRI. On T2-weighted sequences, they may show a relative decrease in signal intensity (“shading”), or they can be hyperintense (Figure D). The presence of shading is the most accurate crite­rion to distinguish an endometrioma from other hemorrhagic or nonhemorrhagic adnexal masses. MRI has been found to aid in the detection of deep pelvic endometriosis, also referred to as deep inltrating endometriosis, located under the surface of the peritoneum.
