Imaging with USG, Diagnostic accuracy in detecting fetal CNS anomalies.

Abstract :

• Anomalies of the CNS are the most common cause of referral for prenatal diagnosis. CNS anomalies occur with a frequency of about 1.4 to 1.6 per 1000 live births but are seen in about 3% to 6% of stillbirths.1 The increased use of maternal serum alpha protein screening and first trimester nuchal translucency screening has resulted in increased number of pregnancies being referred for evaluation of CNS and suspected anomalies. Routine scanning is recommended at 18 to 20 weeks of gestation. Although many cereal anomalies are detectable in the first trimester and early second trimester, others develop or become apparent only later in later pregnancy. 2–6 • Prenatal diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) anomalies is very important in making decision about therapeutic termination. In the past several decades, prenatal abnormalities were mainly detected by maternal serum analysis, amniocentesis, cordocentesis and chorionic villous sampling. • Ultrasound (US) detection of prenatal abnormalities is a non–invasive technique, which is more acceptable by patients. Several studies have shown an accuracy of 92% to 99.7% for US detection of CNS anatomic anomalies. • This study was designed to assess the role of US in detection of gross prenatal CNS anatomic anomalies and its impact on outcome in southern belt of rajasthan
