Abstract Malformations of cortical development are rarely diagnosed in utero. Cortical malformations aberrations the process corticogenesis. We report two rare and unique cases evolving malformation with unusual ultrasonogram markers: (1) narrow cavum septum pellucidum (2) ill-defined irregular lateral ventricular borders on midtrimester anomaly scan. This was further confirmed by fetal brain e...

Background: Spontaneous preterm delivery, main source of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Forecasting high-probability category for premature primarily at 34 weeks, timely management to avert this gestational problem have thus been health-care challenge. Cervical length estimated by TVS foresee delivery in asymptomatic low-probability women. Methods: Prospective observational study conducted ...

Prenatal diagnosis of intracranial tumors generally implies a poor prognosis. We present three such cases, where prognostication was difficult. We attempted to correlate our prenatal counseling with postnatal follow-up/postabortal diagnosis. In the first case, tumor was diagnosed at 37 weeks. Ultrasound and fetal/neonatal MRI suggested a malignant intraventricular tumor. Anticipating guarded pr...

Neural tube defects (NTD) are a heterogeneous group of malformations resulting from failure of normal neural tube closure before the fourth and fifth week of embryologic development. The three most common forms of NTD are: anencephaly, encephalocele and spinal dysraphism. Less common forms of neural tube defects include iniencephaly, amniotic bands and other types of spinal abnormalities inclu...
