Fetal Medicine: Conditions We Treat

Fetal medicine specialists can treat a wide range of conditions, including:

• Chromosomal Abnormalities: Fetal medicine specialists diagnose and treat several chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13. Treatment options for chromosomal abnormalities may include prenatal counseling, termination of pregnancy, or medicinal interventions during pregnancy or after birth.

• Congenital heart defects: Fetal medicine specialists can diagnose and treat a variety of congenital heart defects. These defects can be ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, and tetralogy of Fallot. Treatment options for hereditary heart defects may include prenatal counseling, termination of pregnancy, or fetoscopic surgery during pregnancy.

• Other structural abnormalities: Fetal medicine specialists can diagnose and treat a variety of other structural abnormalities, such as spina bifida, cleft lip and palate, and clubfoot. The different treatment methods for structural abnormalities may include prenatal counseling, termination of pregnancy, or fetoscopic surgery during pregnancy.

• Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS): TTTS is a condition that can typically occur in pregnancies with twins or other multiples. In twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, one twin receives too much flow of blood from the placenta, while the other twin does not receive enough flow of blood. This can lead to several health problems for both twins. Generally, fetal medicine specialists use techniques such as fetoscopic laser surgery to treat TTTS.

• Fetal growth restriction (FGR): FGR is a condition in which the fetus does not grow and develop properly in the womb. Fetal medicine specialists can use several techniques to manage fetal growth restriction, such as increasing maternal blood flow to the placenta and providing nutritional support to the fetus.

• Fetal Distress: Fetal distress is a condition in which the fetus is not receiving enough oxygen or nutrients. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as placental insufficiency, umbilical cord compression, or infection. Fetal distress can be a serious condition, but it is often treatable. The fetal distress treatment includes changing the position of the mother, administering oxygen to the mother, discontinuing oxytocin, hydrating the mother, early delivery, etc. depending on the individual cases.

• Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR): IUGR is a condition in which the fetus does not grow and develop properly in the womb. Treatment for IUGR may include increasing blood flow to the placenta, providing nutritional support to the fetus, or early delivery.

Additionally, by treating the above-mentioned conditions, fetal medicine specialists can also help to manage a variety of other high-risk pregnancies. They can also provide care for women with multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.) and women with a history of pregnancy complications.

Fetal Medicine: Services We Offer

Fetal medicine services are a range of fetal medicine tests and therapeutic procedures that are used to monitor the health and well-being of the fetus during pregnancy. These services can be used to detect and treat several conditions.

Some of the most common fetal medicine services include:

• Ultrasound: Ultrasound(USG) is a safe and non-invasive imaging technique that is used to analyze the growth and development of a fetus, and detect abnormalities. It helps in guiding diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

• Amniocentesis: Amniocentesis(amnio) is a prenatal test in which a small sample of amniotic fluid is removed from the amniotic sac. Amniotic fluid contains fetal cells, which can be tested for chromosomal abnormalities and other conditions.

• Chorionic villus sampling (CVS): Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a procedure in which a small sample of chorionic villi is collected from the placenta. Chorionic villi(placental tissue) are finger-like projections that develop into the placenta and umbilical cord. They contain fetal cells, which can be tested for chromosomal abnormalities and other conditions.
