Overgrowth Syndromes (OS) – Beckwith-Wiedeman (BW), Simpson-Golabi-Behmel, Perlman, Sotos, Weaver (WS), Proteus, KlippelTrenaunay and some other heterogeneous conditions – are characterized by an excessive prenatal and postnatal growth. As some of them have a poor prognosis, a correct prenatal diagnosis is essential. So far, just a few of prenatal diagnosis of OS have been reported, mostly regarding the BW one. We report the first prenatal diagnosis of Weaver syndrome, in a low risk pregnancy, detected as early as the 22 weeks’ gestation, in a G2 P1 28-year-old Caucasian woman. Parents were non related. The patient was referred to our tertiary centre because of a presumptive diagnosis of BW syndrome, that was excluded because there was neither omphalocele nor macroglossia. 2D US scan was performed with an Hitachi Logos machine (Esaote), and the images were further elaborated in a 3D freehand mode. The 2D scan showed a single living fetus with all the biometric parameters above the 99◦ centile for gestational age. The fetus showed as well: broadening of long bones epiphyses; external male genitalia with micropenis; enlarged hyperechogenic kidneys with severe hydronephrosis; camptodactyly with clinodactyly of fifth digits; enlarged liver; long, everted and broad upper lip.; large ears; enlarged plica nucalis > 9 mm; polyhydramnios. Amniocentesis showed a normal male, 46XY, karyotype. 3D surface rendering images better defined the 2D findings, especially as for the fetal profile, hands and kidneys was concerning, allowing us to postulate a prenatal diagnosis of Weaver syndrome. After extensive genetic counselling, parents opted for pregnancy termination, and a stillborn fetus weighing 788 g was delivered. Dismorphological, X-Ray and necroscopic examination confirmed the prenatal diagnosis of WS. We believe that 3D scan is helpful in making an accurate prenatal diagnosis in case of OS, permitting parents to decide in order to pregnancy termination.

The main aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the prevalence and type of associated anomalies in fetuses with heterotaxy diagnosed prenatally on ultrasound; the perinatal outcome of these fetuses was also studied.

Abstract Female pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition and the correction of prolapse remains a major challenge for the surgical community. A retrospective study of women with POP undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery with the Elevate System followed-up for 48 months. A total of 138 women with POP were included in the study. We observed an objective cure rate of 94.9% for the anterior wall after 4 years’ follow-up. The subjective cure rate was 97.1%. Improvement in the urinary symptoms was seen after the surgery: the number of asymptomatic patients increased from 14.5 to 77% after the 4 years of follow-up. We reported no cases of bleeding, haematoma, mesh infection and bowel injury, while we had four cases of bladder injury and one case of sepsis. The mesh extrusion rate was 7.3%, all cases interested the anterior compartment. Postoperative dyspareunia and pelvic pain were rare. In this cohort, the Elevate Prolapse Repair System was associated with excellent long-term results, for both anatomical corrections of prolapse, with a high objective and subjective cure rate and a functional urinary outcome. Impact statement What is already known on this subject? Female pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition and the correction of prolapse remains a major challenge for the surgical community. The optimal treatment of POP has still to be determined. What do the results of this study add? The findings from this study shows that the Elevate Prolapse Repair System had high anatomic results associated with a good durability, low morbidity and excellent subjective outcome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that reports a follow-up up to 48 months. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? The Elevate Prolapse Repair System was associated with excellent long terms results in terms of safety, durability and tolerability during the 4 years’ follow-up. Despite the fact that the Elevate kit produced by AMS was withdrawn from the market and it is no longer available, we believe that it is helpful to have data about the outcomes of a transvaginal mesh implant.
