This was a lady in her mid twenties ; gravida 3  with 2 abortions ( at 2 months of GA , each time ) was referred for evaluation of dangling choroid plexus and ? amniotic strand dividing the uterus .

the 4th ventricle and the cisterna magna appear to be normal.

the level of obstruction is likely to be between the 3rd and the 4th ventricle .

the spine appeared to be normal.

This patient in my view had obstructive hydrocephalus ( with the level of obstruction between 3rd and 4th ventricles )

A prominent amniotic band was seen , with the right shoulder of the fetus ? attached to the amniotic band .

The patient wanted a second opinion and was referred . Yet to receive further information.

All those who view this are requested to give your view points.

    today. At very first glance Apple’s new operating program might appear
    to consist of little greater than tweaks and enhancements
    to what was previously there, but under the hood it’s a
    whole new beast, bursting with incredible potential. Sky – Drive –
