Giant omphaloceles are large in size and contain a significant portion of liver. Giant omphaloceles are often associated with other co-morbidities, such as pulmonary hypoplasia, which can lead to respiratory insufficiency, prolonged intensive care support, assisted ventilation, and death. The purpose of this study is to develop a prognostic model for prediction of post-natal outcomes in patients with giant omphaloceles using fetal MRI calculated observed to expected total lung volumes (O/E TLV).

Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM), bronchopulmonary sequestrations (BPS), and hybrid lesions are the most common congenital lung lesions. They are primarily diagnosed prenatally via ultrasound and further characterized by MRI. While most affected neonates are asymptomatic at birth, some may experience varying severities of respiratory distress requiring intervention. We seek to develop a prognostic model for prediction of post-natal outcomes in patients with congenital lung lesions using fetal MRI calculated observed to expected normal lung volume (O/E NLV).

Monochorionic multiple gestations are at risk for complications related to a shared placenta. In utero therapies such as fetoscopic laser and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are used to treat these complications. Previous work at our institution demonstrated a low rate of neuroanatomical abnormalities on post-therapy fetal imaging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate postnatal neurological outcomes within the same cohort. Read More
