Objective:
The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the global cardiac sphericity index (GCSI) of appropriate for gestational age (AGA) fetuses, small for gestational age (SGA) fetuses, and growth-restricted fetuses scanned at term in a government tertiary hospital, maternal high risk (MHR) and to determine the association between the GCSI of these three groups of fetuses and their neonatal outcomes.
Methodology:
The study prospectively evaluated and compared the GCSI of AGA, SGA, and growth-restricted fetuses. Pregnant women at term seen at the outpatient department and scanned at the MHR clinic then eventually delivered in the same hospital from March to May 2022 were included in this study.
Results:
GCSIs were measured with 147 fetuses (106 AGA, 38 SGA, and 3 growth‑restricted
fetuses). The result indicated that the GCSI of AGA fetuses was higher than that of the SGA and
growth‑restricted fetuses. This study found that there is a significantly higher frequency of abnormal
GSCI among SGA and growth‑restricted fetuses. This study also found that there is no statistically
significant correlation between the GCSI measurements of these three groups of fetuses and their
neonatal outcomes.
Conclusions
Abnormal GCSIs were found in fetuses with an estimated fetal
weight <10th percentile (more specifically in growth‑restricted fetuses than in those who are just
SGA) as compared with AGA fetuses. However, the correlation between an abnormal GCSI in any
of these three groups of fetuses and their neonatal outcomes needs further investigation.

Placental abnormality is the important predisposing cause of intrauterine growth retardation. Massive subchorionic hematoma is defined as a large size of maternal blood clot that separates the chorionic plate from the villous chorion and can result in serious obstetrical complications. We report a case of massive subchorionic hematoma diagnosed prenatally, and propose an additional peculiar finding detectable on both the ultrasound and magnetic resonance images: a large hematoma in the subchorionic region at 17 weeks gestation. At 18 weeks 2 days gestation, the fetus was miscarried. The clinical and pathological findings were compatible with massive subchorionic hematoma. Recurrent massive subchorionic hematoma without thrombophilic finding was observed at the next pregnancy in 17 weeks 5 days by ultrasound. The patient was managed conservatively and had successful outcome at term. So we report the case with the brief review of literatures.

Seckel syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder of severe growth retardation and distinct craniofacial, orodental, and skeletal anomalies. We report hereby the first two Korean cases of typical Seckel syndrome who had characteristic symptoms of intrauterine growth retardation, small head, large eyes, sharp facial features (beaked nose, dysplastic ears and narrow face) with underdeveloped chin, dwarfism, severe mental retardation, and other malformation. We report two cases of Seckel syndrome with a brief review of related literatures.

Pena-Shokeir syndrome is a rare, often lethal disease, characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, craniofacial anomalies, limb ankylosis, polyhydramnios and pulmonary hypoplasia. This autosomal recessive disease should be differentiated from trisomy 18, which the second most common multiple congenital malformation syndrome. It is therefore clear that the two syndromes have certain features in common, the most consistent being craniofacial and limb abnormalities and intrathoracic pathology. Therefore, final diagnosis should be based on chromosome study. The case that we experienced had typical Pena-Shokeir phenotype, but chromosomal study show 47, XY, +18.

OBJECTIVETo study the intelligence level and structure in school age children with fetal growth restriction (FGR).
METHODSThe intelligence levels were tested by the Wechsler Children Scales of Intelligence (C-WISC) in 54 children with FGR and in 84 normal children.
RESULTSThe full intelligence quotient (FIQ), verbal IQ (VIQ) and performance IQ (PIQ) in the FGR group were 105.9+/-10.3, 112.4+/-11.2 and 97.1+/-10.6 respectively, and they all were in a normal range. But the PIQ was significantly lower than that in the control group (104.8+/-10.5; p<0.001), and the picture arrangement and the decipher subtest scores were significantly lower than those in the control group (p<0.01). The scores of perception/organization and memory/attention factors in the FGR group were 99.8+/-11.1 and 116.3+/-14.4, respectively, which were inferior to those in the control group (104.6+/-11.5 and 113.4+/-14.5 respectively; p<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe total intelligence level of children with FGR is normal, but there are imbalances in the intelligence structure and dysfunctions in performance ability related to right cerebral hemisphere. Performance trainings should be done from the infancy in children with FGR.

The teratogenic effects of alcohol have been recognized in fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). FAS is a collection of signs and symptoms seen in some children exposed to alcohol in the prenatal period. An 8 month-old-male with an alcoholic mother was diagnosed as a case of FAS according to the following : 1) early-onset intrauterine growth retardation and persistent postnatal growth failure 2) psychomotor retardation 3) craniofacial dysmorphism. Early diagnosis and continued education are advantageous at all levels, benefiting both the individual and all of society. We present this case with a brief review of related literatures.
