Diagnosis Of Neurological Fetal Anomalies

Accuracy of Prenatal Ultrasonography in The Diagnosis Of Neurological Fetal Anomalies

This is a descriptive cross-sectional study 300 patients coming for antenatal care at sohag governorate undergo mid anatomical scan.

Samples 300 pregnant women have mid anatomical scan at 20-22 weeks as routine antenatal care and Examination of the fetal CNS will be performed with a high resolution two dimensional ultrasound machine (Voluson E8) equipped with a RAB 4 to 8MHz multifrequency transabdominal Probe. Four standard recommended views-transventricular, falx, cavum, and posterior fossa or transcerebellar views-provide an overview of fetal intracranial anatomy during the second trimester anatomy scan.

Follow-up information will be obtained in all cases, and all infants will be considered healthy by pediatric examination. In selected cases, postnatal single-shot fast spin-echo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging will be performed as integrated, complementary investigation.to confirm diagnosis.
