Case no 2 (fig.2 a.b.c.d.e.f.h.i.j.l). A 25 years old PG admitted for routine antenatal ultrasound examination. GA 36 wks ± 5 ds- Single alive fetus, HR134 b/m with adequate movement. Fetal biometry: -BPD = 84.6 mm of 34 wks ± 1 ds (a). -AC = 324 mm of 36 wks ± 3ds -FL= 72.1 mm of 37 wks). Ultrasonic markers of lung maturity: Amniotic fluid index AFI was 9 cm and (FFPs) were clearly seen mobile and swirling motion (b). Placenta grading grade III , fundal posterior (c). -DFE present (d) -PTE absent. Thalamic echogenicity: echogenic. Colon grading grade II (e) Lung echogenicity to liver: hypodense (f). Doppler examination: - MCA RI 0.79 (g) MCA PI 1.35- - UA RI 0.62 (h) UA PI 0.94- - UtA RI 0.57 (i) MPA RI 0.75 (j). The neonatal outcome: Delivery within 24 hours after ultrasound examination.--NICU admission for (RDS) NO
