RH incompatibility, is a sad reality in Pakistan. It is avoidable by giving anti D prophylaxis between 28-32 weeks of gestation, single dose of 300ugm is good enough followed by a repeat dose after delivery of baby, if baby is RH positive!!!
Inuterotransfusion is the only treatment available for RH incompatibility.
It’s very important to have a steady hands with continuous visualization of needle!!!

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects 1 in 20,000 children. A fetus or baby with ARPKD has fluid-filled kidney cysts that may make the kidneys too big, or enlarged. ARPKD can cause a child to have poor kidney function, even in the womb.
It can be diagnosed before 15 weeks by prenatal genetic testing.
Un fortunately, Pakistan is a country where genetic testing is neither funded by the government nor insurance!! Diagnosis by ultrasound can be made around 22 weeks and later!!
Sadly, we have to rely on scan for diagnosis and by that time the emotional bonding so strong!!!

Role of Genetic sonogram

A 38 year old woman referred to us at 28 weeks of gestation with early onset fetal growth restriction, fetal renal pelvicalcyceal dilation, persistent choroid plexus cyst and polyhydromnios.
Her age related risk for trisomies was 1 in 207
By adding above soft markers as a part of genetic sonogram increased her risk for Trisomies to 1 in 41.
We did her amniocentesis and the results showed Trisomy 18, Edwards syndrome.
Screening for Trisomies in first trimester is done universally but in some cases genetic sonogram can be helpful in risk assessment of Trisomies.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) occurs when there is a hole in the diaphragm, which is the thin sheet of muscle separating the chest from the abdomen The majority of CDHs occur on the left side. The hole allows the contents of the abdomen (stomach, intestine, liver, spleen, and kidneys) to go up into the fetal chest. They should be delivered in a perinatal center with a Level III intensive care nursery

In the best cases, some infants do very well with treatment after birth, surgery and care in an intensive care nursery On the other end of the spectrum, babies with severe CDH and very small lungs can have difficult challenges after birth, and some will not survive.
