Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis for lumbosacral masses is discussed in Case 10: Sacrococcygeal Teratoma. The case here is an open neural tube defect in which there may be a cystic complex or solid mass originating from the lumbosacral spine. Associated cranial defects are present as shown by the lemon and banana signs (Figures A and B). There is associated ventriculomeg­aly in a high percentage of cases. Other entities that may be considered include amniotic band syndrome and limb–body wall complex. In both of these entities, asymmetric defects and scoliosis are associated with disruption of the amnion. In limb–body wall complex, there is continuity of the fetus with the placenta surface. Finally, sacrococcygeal teratoma may
manifest as either a cystic complex or a solid mass originat­ing from the coccyx and could be considered in the differ­ential diagnosis. Rare tumors such as lipoma of the cord or other cutaneous tumors may be considered in the differential diagnosis. However, none of these is usually associated with a lemon sign or banana sign.
Ultrasound Features
Ultrasound features of myelomeningocele, or spina bida, include a lumbosacral mass that is complex cystic or solid. The neural foramen is splayed (Figure C). The spinal cord is teth­ered or lies within the sacral region. There is an association of a posterior deformity in which the cerebellum is displaced into the cisterna magna and becomes effaced; this results in a cer­ebellum having the appearance of a banana (Figure B). Before 24 weeks’ gestation, the cranium may have a lemon shape, in which the frontal bone is scalloped (Figure A). The lemon sign suggests the possibility of spina bida, but it is not pathogno­monic for spina bida. It rarely can be seen in normal fetuses, fetuses with trisomy 18, and fetuses with an encephalocele. Careful scanning of the rest of the fetus is needed. If a myelo­meningocele is present, it may be associated with ventriculo­megaly in the late second trimester in 70% to 80% of cases. Ventriculomegaly can be present at birth in 90% of cases.
Prognosis and Management
Even with appropriate diagnosis and treatment, a very high infant mortality rate is associated with spina bida. Approxi­mately 20% of live-born infants undergoing surgery die within the rst year of life. Approximately one third of all infants die within the rst 5 years. Death is usually related to respiratory failure, although there may be other etiologies. Individuals who survive often have lower limb dysfunction and problems with urinary incontinence.

Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis depends on whether ventriculo­megaly is mild (ventricular size between 10 and 15 mm) or moderate to severe (ventricular size >15 mm). Any etiology of ventriculomegaly could be considered, including Arnold­Chiari malformation and Dandy-Walker malformation. Arnold-Chiari malformation has a lemon sign. Dandy-Walker malformation has a posterior fossa cyst. However, there are usually associated ndings that are easily recognized in these entities. Intracranial hemorrhage and infections may cause in utero hydrocephalus. Anomalies such as alobar holoprosen­cephaly or hydranencephaly may cause massive cerebrospinal uid collection, but there are features that distinguish them from hydrocephalus. Alobar holoprosencephaly is associated with a monoventricular cavity with fused thalami and facial
Ultrasound Findings
Ventriculomegaly usually refers to dilation of the lateral ventri­cles. The upper limit of normal of the trigone of the lateral ventricle is 10 mm. Dilation greater than 10 mm is referred to as ventriculomegaly. It has been shown that the amount of ventriculomegaly affects prognosis. Mild ventriculomegaly has a much better prognosis than massive ventriculomegaly.
Aqueductal stenosis refers to obstruction of the aqueduct of Sylvius. There is dilation of the third ventricle and lateral ventricles. The ventricular size may be normal in the early second trimester, but massive ventriculomegaly may develop later in the second trimester and in the early third trimester. A workup for other intracranial anomalies is important because the ventriculomegaly may be secondary to Arnold-Chiari type II malformation or Dandy-Walker malformation. The features of these anomalies are readily apparent on ultrasound (Figures A and B). MRI can also show ventriculomegaly (Figure C). X-linked hydrocephalus is associated with aqueductal steno­sis. Demonstration on ultrasound of abduction of thumbs in combination with ventriculomegaly should strongly suggest the diagnosis of X-linked hydrocephalus.
Prognosis and Management
Amniocentesis may be suggested to exclude chromosomal abnormalities. TORCH (toxoplasmosis, other agents, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex) titers may be necessary to exclude infectious etiologies of ventriculomegaly. Frequent ultrasound scans are needed because ventriculomegaly is very dynamic, and ventricular size can change with time. Delivery can be vaginal unless there is associated ventriculomegaly, which would cause increased head size that might prevent vaginal delivery. In these cases, cesarean section may be neces­sary. Cephalocentesis and in utero shunt placement have been abandoned in the United States. However, after delivery, intra­cranial shunt procedures may be necessary.

Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis for omphalocele includes gastros­chisis, amniotic band syndrome, and limb–body wall complex. Keys to differentiating these entities include location of the defect with respect to the umbilical cord and umbilical cord insertion site, presence of a membrane, hernia contents, and associated abnormalities. All entities in the differential diag­nosis may have elevated alpha-fetoprotein. Omphalocele is the most common abdominal wall defect, occurring in 1:4000 live births. Although most commonly sporadic in occurrence, omphalocele may be associated with other syndromes, includ­ing Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, pentalogy of Cantrell, and OEIS (omphalocele, exstrophy of bladder, imperforate
Ultrasound Findings
Omphalocele is characterized by a membrane-covered central abdominal wall defect containing variable viscera, including bowel or liver or both (Figures A and B). The umbilical cord inserts directly onto the herniated sac. On ultrasound, ompha­locele can be differentiated from gastroschisis, which has no membrane and typically arises to the right lateral aspect of the umbilical cord. Limb–body wall complex and amniotic band syndrome is an abdominal wall defect with craniofacial and limb abnormalities. In neonates with omphalocele, thorough evaluation for associated abnormalities is indicated, includ­ing ectopia cordis or other cardiac malformation and blad­der or cloacal exstrophy. Diagnosis should be made after 14 weeks’ gestation to avoid confusion with physiologic midgut herniation.
Prognosis and Management
Outcomes are best for isolated omphaloceles in neonates with normal karyotypes. Spontaneous resolution of small defects has been described and may represent the delayed return of abdominal contents from physiologic midgut herniation. A 20% risk of fetal demise has been described in neonates with giant omphaloceles. Smaller defects (<5 cm) can be managed surgically with a single procedure; larger defects may require a staged approach. There is increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities with defects of the small bowel only. If there is no associated chromosomal abnormality, larger defects, because of size, are more difcult to repair.

Comment
Müllerian Duct Anomalies
A large study of fertile and infertile women showed that the most common müllerian duct anomaly is septate uterus (55%). Other müllerian duct anomalies include bicornuate uterus (10%), didelphic uterus (11%), arcuate uterus (7%), unicor­nuate uterus (20%), and hypoplastic uterus (5% to 10%). All have a higher incidence of renal anomalies, including unilateral agenesis and ptosis.
Reproductive Difficulties
Uterine anomalies occur more frequently in infertile women. Depending on the congenital anomaly, women may have dif­culty with conception, early pregnancy loss, or later complica­tions such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Septate uterus results in the highest incidence of reproductive difcul­ties (67%). It is important if a unicornuate uterus is isolated or with a rudimentary horn. Patients with an isolated unicornu­ate uterus are usually asymptomatic; however, the small uter­ine cavity can result in early abortions or premature delivery. Rudimentary horns can cause chronic pain from endometrio-
Special Problems with a Septate Uterus
Problems with conception may occur with septate uterus. Problems may be caused by implantation on the septum, which has an abnormal blood supply. Early pregnancy loss also occurs. Other anomalies that have an increased incidence of early pregnancy loss include a unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn and DES-related anomalies.
Present Case
This case shows a pregnancy in the right horn of a bicornu­ate uterus (Figures A and B). Pregnancy loss occurs more frequently with a bicornuate uterus than with a uterine didel­phys or a unicornuate uterus. Pregnancy loss can occur in the rst 20 weeks or later in the second or third trimester. Three­dimensional ultrasound has been used to evaluate uterine malformations, especially when there have been inconsistent results from other imaging modalities, and to locate fetuses more precisely in the uterine horns.
Diethylstilbestrol during Pregnancy
Women whose mothers used DES during pregnancy can have
T-shaped uterus or uterine cavity constrictions that are not
a amenable to surgical correction. In addition, they have an increased risk of cervical and vaginal malignancies, specically mesonephric clear cell carcinoma of the cervix and vagina. There are no genitourinary anomalies associated with DES­related uterine malformations.
Modalities to Diagnose Congenital Uterine Anomalies
Ultrasound and MRI are the best modalities to diagnose a con­genital uterine anomaly; the external uterine fundal contour is of key importance. The signal intensity of the tissue separating the two endometrial cavities on MRI can be similar in both entities. In most septate uteri, the inferior portion of the sep­tum is uniformly dark on T2. The signal intensity of the upper portion of the septum is similar to the signal intensity of the myometrium in many patients.

Extrauterine Masses Associated with Pregnancy
Extrauterine masses associated with pregnancy can be detected by both transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound examinations. These masses are commonly an incidental nd­ing, although occasionally the physical examination may sug­gest the abnormality. Extrauterine masses are usually ovarian in origin. When cystic, they may be a corpus luteum cyst or nonfunctioning ovarian cyst. If complex, they can be a hemor­rhagic cyst, cystic teratoma, or neoplasm (cystadenomas and cystadenocarcinomas). Although endometriomas are often associated with infertility, they may be seen after pregnancy and can be extraovarian or, less commonly, ovarian. Solid masses are often exophytic broids, solid benign ovarian masses, ovar­ian carcinoma, or a pelvic kidney. Ovarian luteomas are rare, nonneoplastic, usually solid masses that regress spontaneously after delivery. Abscesses can vary in their appearance and typi­cally are accompanied by signicant symptoms. A hydrosalpinx appears tubular, especially on a transvaginal study. Ovarian tor­sion is more often solid and related to pain. Although usu­ally associated with a lead mass, necrosis tends to produce an amorphous solid appearance.
pregnancy (Figures A to D). The mass is well circumscribed with hyperechoic areas and low-level or ne linear echoes.
Complications of Ovarian Tumors during Pregnancy
Ovarian tumors may cause complications during pregnancy. These tumors are associated with the increased possibility of a spontaneous abortion; they may undergo torsion, and they may pose obstacles to vaginal delivery. The second trimester is generally the best time for exploration of worrisome adnexal masses because the risk of spontaneous abortion is highest in the rst trimester, and in the third trimester the risk of preterm labor is highest. Even after spontaneous labor, the tumors may cause disturbances in the postpartum period. Although all types of ovarian tumors may complicate pregnancy and delivery, most of them are cystic. Their occurrence is 1 in 81 pregnan­cies; however, tumors that are of sufcient size to constitute a hazard to pregnancy are considered to have an incidence of only 1 in 328. Dermoids have been described comparatively frequently. The most frequent and serious complication of ovarian cystic masses is torsion, which frequently occurs after 9 weeks’ gestation. The cysts may rupture and extrude their contents into the peritoneal cavity during spontaneous labor or as a result of operative interference. If the tumor blocks the pelvis, it can rupture the uterus or be forced into the vagina and occasionally even into the rectum.
Treatment of Ovarian Tumors during Pregnancy
Many ovarian tumors complicating pregnancy are asymp­tomatic and unsuspected. Ultrasound can detect extrauterine tumors, particularly smaller ones that may not cause many of these complications. However, if these tumors are clinically considered to be large enough to cause problems (usually >4 to 5 cm), they should be removed. There is a pregnancy loss rate from surgery, and it is thought that the early to middle second trimester (after the fourth month of pregnancy) is the most opportune time for removal of these masses. Although there is still a chance that the operation may lead to a sponta­neous abortion, the danger is minimal compared with possible torsion or rupture of the cyst or interruption of later labor and delivery. If the diagnosis of an extrauterine mass is not made until later in the pregnancy, it is usually advisable to postpone surgery until term, unless there is a high suspicion of cancer.
Cystic Teratoma
This case shows a fairly typical appearance of a very common extrauterine mass (cystic teratoma [dermoid]) detected during
