Endocardial fibroelastosis is a congenital heart disease characterized by diffuse thickening of the endocardium, this conditions a dilated cardiomyopathy in most cases or less frequent restrictive cardiomyopathy. It can be a primary pathology or secondary to other cardiac malformations, especially a stenosis or atresia of the aorta. The global incidence at birth is estimated to be 1 in 5 000 and 4 in 100 congenital heart disease. The clinical case of a 37-year-old pregnant woman is presented, who was admitted at 19.1 weeks of pregnancy in Hospital Obrero N ° 2 in Cochabamba-Bolivia, due to the prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of structural fetal heart disease, endocardial fibroelastosis.

Abdominal tuberculosis is an infrequent pathology, it presents with a nonspecific clinical picture and multiple differential diagnoses. It should be considered as a diagnostic possibility in places with a high prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis; otherwise, it may be delayed in time, conditioning a late diagnosis and treatment. Imaging studies in experienced hands can guide the diagnosis. The described article presents an infrequent and nonspecific picture of abdominal tuberculosis as a cause of acute abdomen.

Bichorial twin pregnancy with one molar transformation and the other with alive fetus is an extremely rare case. The case of a female patient of 24 years, derived from prívate practice with a diagnosis of Partial Mola with alive fetus 16 weeks. A new study finds that pregnancy is bichorial twin pregnancy with complete mole and alive fetus with Septo-optict dysplasia. The genetic diagnosis was made by amniocentesis informing: karyotype 46, XY male fetus. It was decided to carry out strict control of pregnancy. At 32 weeks gestation, the patient has spontaneous rupture of the fetal membranes. Pregnancy is concluded after administration of corticosteroids to induce pulmonary maduration; obtaining newborn with 1350 grs at birth, the APGAR score was 8 - 9. The patient had a favorable evolution, without clinical or biochemical evidence of recurrence or persistence. Postnatal study confirms prenatal diagnosis The infant has at the moment 23 months of life, not demonstrating psychomotor disturbances. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Description: Congenital heart diseases are most frequent fetal malformations, with a worldwide incidence of 6-8 for 1000 born alive and 27 for 1 000 stillborn. It represents one of the main causes of death in the first 30 days of postnatal life. In studies in ultrasound studies of routine in pregnant women routine ultrasound, are structural anomalies which most overlooked. Objectives: to determine the situation of prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart diseases in a sector of the population that is dependent on the Caja Nacional de Salud. Methods: Retrospective observational and descriptive study of longitudinal cut. The population studied was 9030 patients with births attended in the Hospital Obrero N°2 CNS; 1.1% of the patients were assisted in the Centro Médico Quirúrgico Boliviano Belga. The period includes the year 2009-2012. Results: it has detected, 32 fetuses with isolated cardiac pathology or as main anomaly (3.5 per 1 000 live births). Obtained the postnatal confirmation in 94%; in five (15%) patients found other additional heart defects in the neonatal exploration. Conclusions: the antenatal diagnosis of complex congenital heart diseases can modify the postnatal prognosis and it allows to schedule the birth canal adequate preparation to receive the newborn or sending to a specialized center and is fully justified all efforts that improve its detection.

Prune belly syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly, characterized by having: hypoplasia of abdominal wall muscles, urinary tract anomalies and bilateral cryptorchidism, clinical triggers in newborns varies, depending primarily on the degree of disturbance urinary system. Ultrasonography is the method of choice in prenatal diagnosis. The prenatal management of this picture, is aimed primarily at improving renal function and lung being the treatment of choice vesico-amniotic decompression early through the placement of a double pigtail catheter. This article presents 2 cases showing the main clinical presentations, diagnostic ultrasound and prenatal intrauterine and postnatal management of this condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
