Differential Diagnosis
This case is nearly an “Aunt Minnie.” A few entities should be considered in the differential diagnosis, including a bilateral lung mass, which is very rare. A bilateral lung mass could be a microcystic congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation or bilateral pulmonary sequestration. However, a bilateral process would be rare in both of these entities. The most likely diag­nosis is CHAOS. Bronchial atresia is a similar entity, but it is a unilateral process.
Ultrasound Findings
Because the fetal upper airways are occluded, the intratho­racic pressure is elevated from the lung uid. This increased
pressure impairs cardiac lling, leading to cardiac failure and hydrops. Hydrops developing with CHAOS is associated with a poor prognosis. CHAOS was previously termed laryngeal atre- sia or tracheal atresia. On ultrasound, it is difcult to identify whether this is laryngeal or tracheal atresia, and so the term high airway obstruction is now used. The features are nearly pathog­nomonic (Figures A and B). MRI may be helpful to dene this entity better; MRI shows a dilated uid-lled trachea and bilateral uid-lled bronchi, which are also dilated (Figure C). In CHAOS, there is usually compression of the heart, which is well identied in this case (Figure A). The process is sym­metric, and the heart is not displaced to the right or left. In addition, uid is present within the tiny air spaces, which are too small to be identied by ultrasound and appear as bilateral increased echogenicity of the lung; this has a mass effect with displacement of the diaphragm inferiorly, which appears at­tened or inverted (Figure B). Ascites may develop as in this case and fetal hydrops.
Treatment
The EXIT procedure is used to secure the fetal airway before compete delivery of the fetus. The EXIT procedure requires adequate exposure of the uterus with anesthesia for both the mother and the fetus. The fetal head and neck are exposed; for fetuses with CHAOS, a tracheostomy is usually needed. Tracheostomy is not always needed for other EXIT proce­dures. The most common indication for the EXIT procedure is to secure an airway before delivery of a fetus with CHAOS or a fetus with a large neck mass. In the latter case, the neck mass may be resected after successful maintenance of the airway.
More recently, in utero fetoscopic and ultrasound-guided decompression of the fetal trachea in CHAOS has been reported. Laryngeal atresia has been treated with a fetoscope and fetal laryngoscopy with balloon dilatation and subsequent stent implantation within the atretic upper airway.

Comment
General Description
Obligate presentation of the cord refers to presentation of the umbilical cord before the fetus at the time of birth.
Risk Factors
Obligate cord is most common in the setting of a fetal breech position (particularly a footling breech) and with small fetuses,
including fetuses delivered prematurely. Other risk factors include multiple gestations, polyhydramnios, multiparity, dis­proportion, incompetent cervix, and “hourglass membranes.” Diagnosis of this condition is essential because prolapse of the cord into the cervix during delivery can be catastrophic for the fetus. In addition, the obligate positioning of the cord results in cord compression and variable fetal cardiac decelera­tions or bradycardia during uterine contractions.
Diagnosis Including Ultrasound Imaging
The diagnosis can be made at the time of delivery by palpa­tion; in some cases, the umbilical cord can be palpated in the lower uterine segment on pelvic digital examination. Prenatal diagnosis can be made with ultrasound. The umbilical cord can be identied overlying the internal os (Figure). Transperineal scanning is helpful in imaging the lower uterine segment and determining the presenting part.
Management
If an obligate cord is diagnosed prenatally, nonstress fetal cardiac monitoring is performed at weekly intervals or more frequently if clinically warranted. Application of fundal and suprapubic pressure may provoke fetal bradycardia, indicating cord entrapment. If the cord remains in a primary present­ing position, prompt delivery by cesarean section is required at term.

Comment
Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis in this case would include any obstruction of the urinary tract with a dilated ureter. Vesico­ureter junction obstruction and vesicoureteric reux would be considered. Other cystic abnormalities of the kidneys
including a simple cyst could be considered but are less likely. In this case with a dilated upper pole of the kidney in associa­tion with a ureterocele in the bladder, the most likely diagnosis would be ectopic ureterocele (Figures A to C).
Ultrasound Findings
Ultrasound ndings are fairly classic and include a dilated upper pole moiety (Figure A) and dilated ureter with a ure­terocele within the bladder (Figure B). However, if the ureter is dilated and inserts below the bladder neck and if no uretero­cele is present, a diagnosis of ectopic ureterocele is more dif­cult. In rare cases, ureteroceles may insert into the region of the urethra and cause bladder outlet obstruction. Visualization of the ureterocele within the bladder may be difcult if the bladder is empty. The upper pole moiety usually inserts lower and medial to the lower pole moiety; this has been called the “Weigert-Meyer rule.”
Prognosis and Management
The prognosis of ectopic ureterocele is usually good because in most cases only one kidney is affected. The amount of amniotic uid is usually normal, leading to normal develop­ment of the other kidney. There are rare associated abnormali­ties with a normal contralateral kidney. In utero therapy is not indicated. Postnatal therapy includes cystoscopy with puncture of the ureterocele or ureteral reimplantation. The condition is sporadic, and risk of recurrence is low.

Comment
Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis in this case would include anything that causes a defect in the sternum. Cleft sternum may be
present without ectopia cordis; this situation causes some bulg­ing of the cardiac apex on ultrasound. True ectopia cordis may or may not include pentalogy of Cantrell with its associated abnormalities. Also, amniotic band syndrome and limb-body wall complex may produce bizarre defects that could involve the anterior chest, but these appear much more unusual and complex than the cases presented in Figures A and B.
Ultrasound Findings
Ultrasound ndings of ectopia cordis are straightforward. Ectopia cordis is dened as partial or complete displacement of the heart outside of the thorax. An extrathoracic heart is a dramatic nding on ultrasound. In an isolated cleft sternum, the heart may appear to protrude through the chest, although the chest wall is intact. Pentalogy of Cantrell is more severe, involving not only ectopia cordis but also a supraumbilical ven­tral wall defect, intrinsic cardiac abnormalities, a cleft sternum, and diaphragmatic defects.
Prognosis and Management
Prognosis for ectopia cordis is poor, and the mortality rate is very high. The surgical approach is tailored to the severity of defects and other complicating factors, such as the intrinsic cardiac abnormalities or associated omphalocele.

Comment
Etiology
OHSS occurs in women undergoing ovulation induction or hyperstimulation for assisted reproduction. Increased capillary permeability secondary to the large ovarian cysts leads to third spacing, which can result in hypovolemic shock and stroke and electrolyte abnormalities. The diagnosis is made by measur­ing serum estradiol levels in a patient with enlargement of the ovaries on ultrasound.
Risk Factors
A previous history of OHSS is a risk factor. Young, thin women are at increased risk. In addition, women with the
“necklace” sign of multiple peripheral follicles in the ovary before assisted reproduction or polycystic ovary disease are at increased risk. As seen in the case presented (Figures A to D), pregnancy is not a prerequisite for OHSS; however, hyperstimulation is more common in women who become pregnant. Luteinization is an integral contributor to the devel­opment of OHSS. In particular, the administration of human chorionic gonadotropin increases the risk. Women who become pregnant are at higher risk for the more severe forms of OHSS.
Ultrasound Findings
Ultrasound ndings include enlarged ovaries (Figure A) and ascites (Figures A to C). Unilateral pleural effusion has been described but is rarely an isolated nding.
Complications and Treatment
Complications in addition to hypovolemic shock (and rarely death) include thromboembolic disease and stroke (Figure D), liver and kidney dysfunction, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The enlarged ovaries are susceptible to torsion. Treatment is supportive to maintain hemodynamic stability. Paracentesis guided by transabdominal or transvaginal ultra­sound has been shown to be an effective treatment. Mild forms of OHSS can be managed on an outpatient basis; how­ever, patients with severe OHSS require hospitalization and monitoring in the intensive care unit.
