MainMenu Back Next Index ENCEPHALOCELE Encephaloceles are due to failure of the anterior neuropore to close. In the general population, about 75% of the encephalocele are located in the occipital region (Figure 258.1). The diagnosis of an occipital encephalocele is usually obvious (Figure 258.1), but occasionally it requires a high index of suspicion (Figure 258.2). A B Figure 258.1. — [A] Large occipital encephalocele. [B] CT of the brain showing brain tissue protruding through an occipital bone opening. Subtle occipital encephalocele (Figure 258.2) may increase in size during the neonatal period. In high occipital encephalocele, other central nervous system abnormalities are usually not present. In low occipital encephalocele, there may be associated cerebellar and brainstem abnormalities. Meckel-Gruber syndrome is characterized by posterior encephalocele, microcephaly with sloping forehead, cerebral and cerebellar hypoplasia, polydactyly, polycystic kidney, and cryptorchidism. Meckel-Gruber syndrome has an autosomal recessive inheritance. A B Figure 258.2.

Pathology of Renal Cystic Disease Return to the tutorial menu. Images available as described below range in file size from 50 to 250k. Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (RPKD) This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, giving a 25% recurrence risk for parents having subsequent children. The kidneys are affected bilaterally, so that in utero, there is typically oligohydramnios because of poor renal function and failure to form significant amounts of fetal urine. The most significant result from oligohydramnios is pulmonary hypoplasia, so that newborns do not have sufficient lung capacity to survive, irrespective of any attempt to treat renal failure. RPKD may be termed "Type I" cystic disease in the Potter's classification. Grossly, the kidneys are markedly enlarged and tend to fill the retroperitoneum and displace abdominal contents. The kidneys tend to be symmetrically enlarged. The cysts are quite small and uniform, perhaps 1 to 2 mm on average. Microscopically, the characteristic finding in the later third trimester is cystic change with the cysts elongated and radially arranged. The few remaining glomeruli are not involved by the cysts, and the intervening parenchyma is not increased. In the second trimester, the cysts may not be as well-developed. A helpful finding at autopsy is the presence of congenital hepatic fibrosis, which accompanies RPKD. Normal fetal kidneys, gross

Three classic symptoms are normally associated with Meckel syndrome: protrusion of a portion of the brain and its surrounding membranes (meninges) through a defect in the back or front of the skull (occipital encephalocele), multiple cysts on the kidneys (polycystic kidneys), and extra fingers and/or toes (polydactyly). Affected children may also have abnormalities affecting the head and face (craniofacial area), liver, lungs, and genitourinary tract. Meckel syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.

Each year in the United States, approximately 6000 neonates are afflicated with one of these central nervous system (CNS) anomalies. These embryonic defects may be the most devastating for the infant, if not lethal. Using prenatal ultrasound, many anomalies of the brain may be detected. The brain has varying appearances, depending on the fetal age at the time of sonographic inspection. To recognize an abnormality in development, one should have a comprehensive understanding of the normal developmental appearance of the brain.

78. Fetoscopy Examples of conditions diagnosed include meckelgruber syndrome andKlippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome. Amniotic bands, first trimester varicella, http://www.fetalmd.com/fetoscopy.htm

Diagnostic Fetoscopy Although transvaginal ultrasound and biochemical studies are now useful in identifying congenital anomalies early on in pregnancy, a number of conditions may still escape early detection by these or other techniques. Thin-gauge fetoscopy , a minimally-invasive technique developed by Dr. Quintero, allows visualization of the external anatomy of the fetus after 12 weeks, with a resolution that surpasses that of ultrasound. This technique is available at the Institute for selected cases to confirm or rule out the suspicion of a congenital anomaly in the first stages of pregnancy. Examples of conditions diagnosed include Meckel-Gruber syndrome and Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome. Amniotic bands, first trimester varicella, and other selected conditions have also been examined. Classic Fetoscopy Beyond 16 weeks, the fetus is too large relative to the small endoscopes used in the first trimester. For these pregnancies, a larger endoscope is used to examine the fetus. The size of the endoscope is still small enough that it can be introduced through a minimal skin incision (1/10") under ultrasound guidance. The technique is similar to the type of examinations performed in the late 1970's and early 1980's, but with improved imaging possibilities. The procedure is offered in selected cases where an anatomical defect may escape ultrasound detection even in the second trimester.
