Background. Vertical transmission of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is still controversial. Additionally, the consequences of the infection during pregnancy in the offspring also are unknown. Case. A transitory fetal skin edema and polyhydramnios have been demonstrated by ultrasound in a pregnant patient with COVID-19 after a negative RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2. The fetal findings presented a spontaneous resolution in utero, and abnormal findings were not found in the newborn. Conclusion. Women who have undergone SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy should receive a subsequent appropriate follow-up in order to clarify the fetal consequences of the novel coronavirus, if any.

Congenital dislocation of the knee (CDK) is characterized by hyperextension of the knee with forward displacement of the proximal tibia. It is associated with other joint dislocations and deformities and may occur isolated or as part of different systemic syndromes. Despite its characteristic postnatal morphology, prenatal descriptions are very scarce. We report a case of CDK diagnosed at 20 weeks, discuss its physiopathology, diagnosis and management and review the current literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
