Prenatal diagnosis of schizencephaly with 2D‐3D sonography and MRI

We report a case of schizencephaly diagnosed prenatally at 23 weeks of gestational age with two‐dimensional (2D) and three‐dimensional (3D) sonography and fetal brain MRI, confirmed by autopsy. The diagnostic method of choice is 2D transabdominal and transvaginal sonography, whereas additional 3D so...

Description
Summary:We report a case of schizencephaly diagnosed prenatally at 23 weeks of gestational age with two‐dimensional (2D) and three‐dimensional (3D) sonography and fetal brain MRI, confirmed by autopsy. The diagnostic method of choice is 2D transabdominal and transvaginal sonography, whereas additional 3D sonography and MRI may provide a better understanding of the pathology and related findings. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
