ROLE OF 3D AND 4D DIMENSIONAL ULTRASONOGRAPHY IN DETECTION OF FETAL BRAIN ANOMALIES IN SECOND TRIMESTER OF PREGNANCY

Background: The detection of foetal anomalies is critical in detecting fetal/maternal problems that may occur during and after pregnancy. As a result, imaging crucial for obstetricians. Several studies have assessed the efficacy 2D 4D ultrasound diagnosis, use routine practise has begun to be investigated. Aim Of Study: To determine extended 3D/4D ultrasonography prenatal assessment anatomical structure brain early diagnosis congenital anomalies. Patients methods: This was prospective descriptive study will conducted on 50 pregnant women with suspected Fetal Brain Anomalies (FBA); Results: Regarding diagnostic accuracy vs U/S; A comparison U/S assessments revealed highly significant increase specificity negative predictive value (p 0.01 respectively). non-significant difference disease rate. , sensitivity positive > 0.05). shows fair agreement between (kappa =0.380). Conclusion: There were no 3/4D different anomalies; but more accurate, sensitive specific, tend detect earlier time than U/S.
