     21 week Ultrasound - Confirmation of the CDH...


From the doctor's summary:

Estimated fetal weight of 857gm...

Diaphragmatic hernia with the fetal stomach in the left thorax and subsequent rightward displacement of heart to right chest wall. 

Fetal cardiac evaluation revealed anatomically normal appearing heart, holosystolic TR, abnormal right pulmonary artery blood flow pattern. 

There is reversed diastolic flow through the right pulmonary artery, which is concerning for pulmonary under-development. 

No evidence of liver within the thorax.

Normal four chamber view of heart. 

Multiple cysts measuring up to 3mm within the kidneys. 
The kidneys themselves are increased in echogenicity. 

Possible rocker bottom feet.
