Recent advances in ultrasound technology have made it possible to diagnose fetal diseases much earlier in pregnancy. Reports have indicated that intrauterine infections, specifically cytomegalovirus, can be diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound.
We encountered two cases in which cytomegalovirus infection was associated with hyperechoic areas in the fetal abdomen.
Hyperechoic areas in the fetal abdomen may be an early sign of fetal cytomegalovirus infection. Persistence of this sign may indicate a mild form of infection. Disappearance of these hyperechoic areas in subsequent ultrasonographic examinations and development of other ultrasound signs may indicate severe infection and poor prognosis.
超声技术的最新进展使得在孕期更早地诊断胎儿疾病成为可能。报告表明,宫内感染,特别是巨细胞病毒感染,可通过超声进行产前诊断。
我们遇到两例巨细胞病毒感染与胎儿腹部高回声区相关的病例。
胎儿腹部高回声区可能是胎儿巨细胞病毒感染的早期迹象。该迹象持续存在可能表明感染程度较轻。在随后的超声检查中这些高回声区消失以及出现其他超声迹象可能表明感染严重且预后不良。
