Case series of prenatal diagnosis of fetal intrahepatic lesions and postnatal outcome.

Abstract

With advancing technology, it is becoming common for antenatal ultrasound to detect echogenic lesions in fetal abdomen. Paucity of data in this field, however, makes it difficult to counsel patients. We report four cases of fetal liver echogenic lesions, postnatal outcome (delivered during 2015-2016) and a literature review to increase awareness. Intrahepatic calcification is relatively common with an incidence of approximately 5-10 in 10,000 pregnancies. Prenatal detection of echogenic lesions in fetal abdomen causes huge anxiety and stress to parents; therefore, it is important for the ultrasonographers to be up to date with the evidence-based management of these lesions. Most lesions would carry no or little risk to neonate; however, few cases may require careful planning to optimise the time and place of delivery. We describe four cases between February 2015 and December 2016 using machine Voluson S6 and E8.
