Birinci trimesterde görülen geçici ve izole fetal megasistis üçüncü trimesterde açıklanamayan intrauterin fetal ölüme neden olabilir mi? Olgu sunumu ve literatür özeti

Objective: In this study, we reported a case of a temporary isolated fetal megacystis presenting in the first trimester which resulted in intrauterine death of the fetus at term. Case: A 26-year-old pregnant patient was referred to our clinic at her 12th gestational week for double test. The initial prenatal ultrasonography revealed an isolated megacystis measuring 11.2 mm longitudinally. Chorionic villus sampling was offered for fetal karyotyping but the patient did not accept. Afterwards, the megacystis regressed spontaneously at 14th gestational week. No other fetal anomaly was observed throughout gestation and the pregnancy went without any adverse problems. Sudden intrauterine fetal death was observed at 37th gestational week. The fetus was observed as normal macroscopically on postpartum examination and again fetal karyotyping could not be done due to rejection of the procedure by the family. Conclusion: Contrary to our case, fetal karyotyping should be carried out in order to diagnose the etiology and to fulfill followup on fetus accurately whenever fetal megacystis is diagnosed during the first trimester [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
