Accuracy of neurosonography and <scp>MRI</scp> in clinical management of fetuses referred with central nervous system abnormalities

Abstract

(1) In a tertiary referral center with good NSG expertise in the assessment of fetal CNS malformations, MRI is likely to be of help in a limited proportion of cases; (2) MRI is more useful after 24 weeks of gestation; (3) the lesions whose diagnosis is most likely to benefit from MRI are gross space-occupying lesions.
