Abstract

Background: Prenatal ultrasonography allows for timely identification of fetal abnormalities that can have an effect on securing the neonatal airway at delivery. We illustrate the role of antenatal three-dimensional printing in cases with fetal airway obstruction.<br />Case: We present two cases that highlight the utility of a three-dimensional printing technique to aid in ex utero intrapartum treatment procedures during cesarean delivery.<br />Conclusion: Three-dimensional printing plays a complementary role to standard imaging options in optimizing presurgical planning, prenatal parental counseling, personalized patient care, and education of the multidisciplinary team in cases of fetal congenital airway obstruction.<br />Competing Interests: Financial Disclosure The authors did not report any potential conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
