Winners of the Case of the Week for 2021 - Winner's List


TheFetus.net had a major makeover this year for the first time since its inception as an online journal for case reports in 1999. Thank you to all the users who have been patient with us during the remodel! We hope the site is easier to use, and we will continue to build in systems that will make case submission and review more straightforward. This year, 21 cases were presented, and there were 125 participants who responded correctly at least once to the case of the week. Hopefully this number will continue to grow as everyone becomes more familiar with the site. You can see from the map that website users come from all 6 major continents and 183 different countries!

And thank you so much Cerine, thefetus.net family and wise man Philippe Jeanty. With my best regards


Javier Cortejoso (Spain) - 16 cases solved

Javier Cortejoso

A year ago I considered that the best tribute we could pay to Philippe is to keep his website TheFetus.net alive. Thanks to the enormous efforts of Cerine and to the generosity of the all the authors who submit the cases, TheFetus.net continues being an important learning resource for all of us who are dedicated to prenatal diagnosis.

In addition to the many teachers I have had in Spain, I personally consider that Philippe has been one of the most important mentors I have been honoured to have. His proximity via Internet has always been continuous despite being thousands of miles away.

Ana Ferrero

First of all, I want to thank Cerine and all her collaborators for the great effort in keeping TheFetus.net active. Cerine Jeanty has maintained and improved TheFetus.net and continued to teach how to solve difficult cases and learn with each other, which is an opportunity to improve our learning in prenatal diagnosis for our daily work.  During 2021, I continue working at the Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid in the Prenatal Diagnosis section.

I am very happy to be on the Top Winner`s list in 2021 for one more year. Trying to get every diagnosis right is an exciting challenge.  I hope the web page continue for a long time. Thank you once again.

Agarwal

I am a consultant in maternal and fetal medicine working at a large tertiary hospital in UK. I have been privileged to know Prof Jeanty through cowfetus and incredibly grateful to have learnt from him. This is that time of the year where winners list is populated and I am fortunate to have made into this list for 4th year in a row. I feel nostalgic when it comes to thefetus.net as it is where my real journey of learning fetal medicine started and hope it continues for ever. Prof Jeanty was an inspirational figure for thousands of doctors worldwide not only via teachings and knowledge that he imparted but also the wisdom of life that he shared. His kind and selfless nature and ability to connect with everyone makes him distinct from every other big name in the field of Obstetric Ultrasound. I will always remember him as my ‘gentle giant’.
