Overview

The aim of prenatal ultrasonography is to be able to reassure the pregnant patient as early as possible that foetal development is normal; or if a malformation is detected to counsel the patient about the nature of the problem. Most anomalies of the central nervous system develop early (10-16 weeks), and early detection of such anomalies is probably the most important advance in modern perinatology. Written by international experts, the second edition of this well-regarded book contains over 450 superb sonograms illustrating the embryology and development of the foetal brain, normal and abnormal pathology in foetal and neonatal heads. High quality sonograms are accompanied by clarifying line drawings and cross sections. There are new chapters on neuropathology, 3D ultrasound and cerebral palsy; expanded information on foetal brain circulation and hydrocephalus; and the multidisciplinary author panel includes radiologists, obstetricians/gynaecologists and perinatologists.
