Fetal Circulation01:14

Fetal Circulation

3.8K
Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

Summary

Isolated fetal hand malformation is rare, occurring in 3-8 per 20,000 births. This case explores parental distress and perceptions of medical care following a diagnosis of absent fetal hand.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Prenatal Diagnosis
  • Congenital Abnormalities

Background:

  • Isolated congenital fetal hand malformation is a rare condition.
  • Limb reduction deformities affect approximately 3-8 per 20,000 births.
  • Causes include amniotic band syndrome, teratogen exposure, or vascular accidents.

Observation:

  • A case of an absent left fetal hand was identified.
  • Diagnosis occurred at approximately 20 weeks of gestation.
  • The study explores parental distress and perceptions of medical inertia.

Findings:

  • Comprehensive obstetric ultrasonography and genetic counseling are recommended for fetal hand abnormalities.
  • Karyotype analysis may be indicated to determine the cause.
  • The case highlights challenges in managing late-term pregnancy complications.
