METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING CONGENITAL DEFECTS OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM IN FETUS

摘要

A method for diagnosing the congenital defects of the central nervous system in the fetus provides for the perinatal diagnostics. The following parameters are examined: the shape of the head, the state of the bones of the calvaria, the cavity of the pellucid septum, optic thalami, the cerebral peduncles, the lateral ventricles, the third ventricle, corpus callosum, the cerebellum, the cisterna magna, the possible defects of the neural tube. In case of suspected congenital defects of the central nervous system in the fetus and impossibility of the clear visualization of the anatomical structures, the specifying prenatal MRT of fetus is performed for the assessment of the anatomical structures of the central nervous system with following clinical and prognostic evaluation for deciding whether the pregnancy should be maintained.
