Abstract CNS anomalies are an important cause of neonatal morbidity mortality. 3D/4D US has an advantage over the conventional 2D US as it provides additional multiple options like multiplanar view (MPR), tomographic view & surface rendering view leading to accurate diagnosis of fetal congenital anomalies. The aim of this study was to evaluate role of the 4D ultrasound in diagnosis of in utero congenital CNS anomalies. The current study was conducted on 30 pregnant females with suspected congenital CNS anomalies by 2D ultrasound in Tanta University Hospitals. All the patients were subjected to 2D ultrasound examination, 4D ultrasound examination in cases with suspected anomalies by 2D ultrasound. Out of 30 anomalies, 2 anomalies (6.5 %) were a lobar holoprosencephaly; 6 anomalies (20 %) were Anencephaly, 3 anomalies (10 %) were excencephaly, 1 anomalies (3.5 %) were Aqueductal stenosis, 3 anomalies (10 %) were chiari malformation with its two types I & II, 3 anomalies (10 %) were Dandy walker. Three anomalies were hydranencephaly (10 %), 3 meningeocele (10 %), 1 Spina bifida (3.5 %), 2 case were obstructive hydrocephalus distal to 4th ventricle (obstruction of foramen of luschka & magendi) (6.5%). |
