The Dynamic Fetal Brain
Journal of clinical ultrasound(2007)
Abstract
Purpose. To evaluate fetuses with normal intracranial anatomy in the second trimester that became abnormal in the third trimester.Methods. We sonographically examined 6 fetuses with a normal second-trimester head sonogram that presented later in pregnancy with an abnormal head sonogram.Results. Four categories of intracranial pathology were depicted: obstructive hydrocephalus, intraventricular intracranial hemorrhage, non-intraventricular intracranial hemorrhage, and porencephaly.Conclusions. Despite a normal midtrimester intracranial examination, evaluation of the fetal intracranial contents should be undertaken in subsequent sonographic examinations, because significant pathology can develop spontaneously.
