In order to compare the trends and improvements of prenatal diagnosis of gastroschisis, we herein retrospectively reviewed our cases of fetal gastroschisis detected by three-dimensional ultrasound (3D US) between the two centuries.
We reviewed our computer database of prenatal diagnosis on gastroschisis in National Cheng Kung University Hospital fr...

... the accuracy rate of prenatal diagnosis of gastroschisis by 2D and 3D US were 100%, but 3D US can provide addi- tional illustrations in 3D after various modes of reconstruction, thereby depicting additional abnormalities more easily. Nevertheless, the images of 3D US can reveal three orthogonal planes, including coronal, sagittal, and axial views, of a fetus with gastroschisis that allow the parents to have a better un- derstanding of the fetal malformation. Besides, the additional illustrations in 3D US can reduce the discrepancy in decision making and prenatal consultation between patients and ob- stetricians ( Figs. 1 and ...

... recent advances of molecular diagnosis have contributed remarkably to fetal medicine and genetic consul- tation [22e30]. Novel research modalities, such as array comparative genomic hybridization characterization, and mo- lecular cytogenetic analysis, in conjunction with 3D US should be undertaken altogether to reach the new horizon in prenatal diagnosis, genetic consultation, as well as perinatal management of fetal gastroschisis [22e30].

... In contrast, the absence of accelerations (non-reactive tracing) is considered suspicious, and management of a nonreactive NST first requires extension of the recording time to 40-50 minutes. Clinical evaluations performed on shorter time intervals may be misleading [1,12,13]. However, this investigation was conducted to make an appropriate evaluation for the non-reactive NST applicability in order to predict fetal healthy, necessity of an operation special method during parturition, consideration of essential schemes and so on. ...
