Fetal hyperthyroidism can occur secondary to maternal autoimmune hyperthyroidism. The thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody (TRAb) transferred from the mother to the fetus stimulates the fetal thyroid and causes fetal thyrotoxicosis. Fetuses with this condition are difficult to detect, especially after maternal Graves disease therapy. Here, we present two cases of fetal hyperthyroidism with maternal hypothyroidism and review the assessment and intrauterine therapy for fetal hyperthyroidism. Both women were referred at 22+ and 23+ weeks of gestation with abnormal ultrasound findings, including fetal heart enlargement, pericardial effusion, and fetal tachycardia. Both women had a history of Graves disease while in a state of hypothyroidism with a high titer of TRAb. A sonographic examination showed a diffusely enlarged fetal thyroid with abundant blood flow. Invasive prenatal testing revealed no significant chromosomal aberration. Low fetal serum TSH and high TRAb levels were detected in the cord blood. Fetal hyperthyroidism was considered, and maternal oral methimazole (MMI) was administered as intrauterine therapy, with the slowing of fetal tachycardia, a reduction in fetal heart enlargement, and thyroid hyperemia. During therapy, maternal thyroid function was monitored, and the dosage of maternal levothyroxine was adjusted accordingly. Both women delivered spontaneously at 36+ weeks of gestation, and neonatal hyperthyroidism was confirmed in both newborns. After methimazole and propranolol drug treatment with levothyroxine for 8 and 12 months, both babies became euthyroid with normal growth and development.
Objective:To establish the reference ranges of fetal prenasal thickness (PT) and nasal bone length (NBL) based on a Chinese population and to assess their predictive value for trisomy 21, 18, and 13 in the second trimester of pregnancy.Methods:Pregnant women who underwent ultrasound during the second trimester were included in this study. The PT and NBL were measured retrospectively in 253 normal fetuses and in 55 fetuses with trisomy 21, 18, and 13.Results:The mean PT [PT=-4.959+0.565GA-0.01GA2 (R2=0.725, P<0.001)] and NBL [NBL (mm)=-5.656+0.761GA-0.01GA2 (R2=0.891, P<0.001)] both increased with the gestational age, while the PT/NBL ratio (R2=0.004, P=0.376) remained stable. For the fetuses with trisomy 21, 18, and 13, 26.3% (10/38), 36.4% (4/11), and 16.7% (1/6) had a PT below the 5th percentile, and 42.1% (16/38), 36.4% (4/11), and 33.3% (2/6) had a NBL below the 5th percentile. The detection rate increased remarkably when PT/NBL ratio were used as a new marker for trisomy 21 fetuses, but not for trisomy 18 and 13 fetuses [65.8% (25/38), 45.5% (5/11), and 16.6% (1/6), respectively].Conclusion:Fetal PT/NBL ratio could be used as an effective predictive maker for trisomy 21, 18, and 13.

Objective To observe the value of urtrasound image in positioning fetal conus medullaris normal conus medullaris(CM).Methods Totally 438 fetuses underwent routine fetal ultrasonographic examinations,and were divided into second-trimester group(261 fetuses,with gestational age 20+6—26+2weeks) and third-trimester group(177 fetuses,with gestational age 29+2—40+3weeks).The position of CM was recorded and analyzed.Sixty-one fetuses were extracted as control group.The range of normal position and mean position of CM were calculated.Results The normal range of CM was at the level of L2—3.5 vertebrae body in the second-trimester group,and at the level of L1—3 vertebrae body in the third-trimester group,moved up forward about 0.66 vertebrae body than the former(P0.001).In the control group,compared with the second trimester,CM position moved up forward about 0.89 vertebrae body in third-trimester(P0.001).Conclusion Fetal spinal cord moves up with gestational age increasing.Three-dimensional ultrasound can accurately locate fetal CM position during the second-trimester.

Objective The purpose of this study was to analyze the sonographic features of thyroglossal duct cysts(TDCs) in children and its diagnostic value.Methods We analyzed and summarized the sonograms from 38 children with pathologically proven TDCs retrospectively.The lesions were evaluated for location,shape,internal echo pattern,internal septa,wall thickness,posterior enhancement,solid components,margins,and fistulas.Results Most TDCs were at midline(30 cases),located at the hyoid bone(18 cases) or were infrahyoid(14 cases),showed posterior enhancement(31 cases),were unilocular(33 cases),without internal septa(34 cases),and had a thin wall(28 cases).None had a solid component.The internal echo patterns were classified into 3 types: anechoic(11 cases),homogeneously hypoechoic(9 cases),and heterogeneous(18 cases).Inflammation was confirmed in 8 cases of the lesions with wall thickening and 4 cases of the lesions with internal septa.Conclusions The ultrasonography is of relatively high clinical value in the diagnosis of thyroglossal duct cyst.
