Ultrasound
This is a prenatal ultrasound report from Chile and the term is in the "Fetus" section of the report. This is the full sentence:
Único, el cráneo impresiona íntegro, de forma normal. con eco medio completo, plexos coroideos aspecto mariposa, macizo facial normal. I've found it in several online reports, but not an English translation. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

midline echo is complete
"echo medio" obviously refers to the midline echo within the fetal head. A statement of "completeness" of this echo is unusual, because usually the position is of primary interest, and, contrary to your statement, I did not find any other relevant occurrences of "eco medio completo" on Google. Yet, I can't think of any other meaning of "completo" than complete, uninterrupted.
Note from asker:
| Thank you so much. This was very helpful. The internet searches I found were in Spanish, but with the correct term you gave me, I found this here: https://www.ob-ultrasound.net/bpd_historical.html "2. A transverse scan is then made with the probe inclined to the angle of tilt of the head (asynclitism). This scan should give a true transverse section of the fetal head. The head is seen as an ovoid and a complete midline echo will bisect it in its longest axis. Thc ultrasonic beam is then placed at right angles to the midline echo across the maximum convexity of the parietal bone and an A-scan measurement taken. Further transverse scans are thcn made caudal and cephalad to this original transverse scan to establish the widest transcoronal diameter (which should be the biparietal diameter) with the provison that the midline structures are still visible on both B and A-scan displays." This explains it very well. |

with limited echo
Specific limited echo imaging protocols were formulated without unnecessary imaging (that is, unrelated to the diagnostic question) or use of Doppler.

Limited echo: A limited examination is usually a follow-up or focused study that does not evaluate all the structures required for a comprehensive or complete echocardiographic exam. The purpose of this exam is best described and documented as a focused clinical exam to answer a specific clinical question.
