Associated anomalies and outcome of fetal aberrant right subclavian artery.
To determine the frequency of aberrant right subclavian artery among the low-risk fetuses and to evaluate its association with chromosomal abnormalities and the other congenital heart diseases. ⋯ These findings suggest that aberrant right subclavian may be an isolated finding in trisomy 21. The visualization of subclavian artery should be a part of fetal echocardiographic examination as it may be a valuable marker for Down syndrome.

Case ReportsSinus venous thrombosis: a differential diagnosis of postpartum headache.
In this report, we describe a patient who developed severe headache following epidural analgesia for labor and delivery. Although the epidural puncture had been reported to be uneventful, headache was initially suspected to result from an accidental dural puncture. After the headache worsened, a sinus venous thrombosis was suspected and subsequently confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. This case highlights the difficulty of differential diagnosis of headache in the postnatal period in patients after EDA and stresses the necessity of considering alternative pathologies.
