Anomaly scan for patients from Hauz Khas

Hauz Khas sits between the two, roughly ten minutes from Katwaria Sarai by road and one stop from the hospital side on the Yellow and Magenta lines.

The anomaly scan — also called a Level 2 scan or TIFFA — is the most thorough examination of fetal structure in the whole pregnancy. It works systematically through the brain, face, spine, heart, lungs, diaphragm, abdominal wall, stomach, kidneys, bladder, limbs, hands and feet, and checks the placenta, cord and amniotic fluid.

It takes thirty to forty-five minutes when done properly, and it is worth insisting on that time. The detection rate varies considerably by organ system — very high for major brain, spine and abdominal wall defects, lower for cardiac and skeletal conditions — and being told that honestly beforehand makes a normal result easier to interpret.

How treatment runs

  1. Systematic survey

    Every organ system examined in a fixed sequence so nothing is skipped.

  2. Biometry

    Head circumference, abdominal circumference and femur length, plotted against gestation.

  3. Placenta, cord and fluid

    Placental position and appearance, cord vessels, and amniotic fluid volume.

  4. Cervical length

    Measured in the same sitting, because a short cervix at 20 weeks is the best predictor of preterm birth we have.

Case study: A short cervix found because someone measured it

30, Mayur Vihar · anomaly scan at 19 weeks · no risk factors

What she came in with

A routine anomaly scan in a first pregnancy with no history of preterm birth, no symptoms and nothing to suggest a problem.

What the workup showed

The fetal anatomy survey was entirely normal. Cervical length, measured as part of the same appointment, was 19 mm — well below the 25 mm threshold and a strong predictor of preterm delivery. Many anomaly scans do not include this measurement at all.

What we did

Vaginal progesterone 200 mg nightly started immediately, with cervical length rechecked fortnightly. At 21 weeks it had shortened further to 15 mm with funnelling, and a cervical cerclage was placed.

Outcome

The cervix remained stable thereafter. The stitch was removed at 37 weeks and she delivered at 38+4 — a term baby in a pregnancy that was heading for a delivery around 26 weeks.

The point of this case

There was nothing in her history to suggest she was at risk. The only reason this was found is that the cervix was measured at a scan where it often is not.

Illustrative case. This is a composite of presentations commonly seen in this practice, written for explanation — it is not the record of an identifiable patient, and no individual's details are used. Outcomes vary, and nothing here is a prediction of what will happen in your case.

Why Hauz Khas patients come here

One doctor, start to finish

Dr. Tiwari performs your scans, your retrieval and your transfer, and looks after the pregnancy afterwards. You are not handed between juniors at each visit.

Costs in writing, before you commit

An itemised estimate covering drugs, lab charges, anaesthesia and freezing. If a cycle needs to be abandoned mid-way, you are told what that changes financially on the same day.
