Fetal brain injury in complicated monochorionic pregnancies: diagnostic yield of prenatal MRI following surveillance ultrasound and influence on prognostic counselling.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The aim of this research was to compare the impact of varying degrees of visceral herniation on the growth rates of the contralateral and ipsilateral fetal lungs in cases of isolated left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). METHODS:Data were retrieved from 58 fetuses with isolated left-sided CDH und...
