Magnetic resonance imaging of the fetal brain

Abstract: Introduction: This review covers the recent literature on fetal brain magnetic resonance imaging, with emphasis on techniques, advances, common indications, and safety. Methods:We conducted a search of MEDLINE for articles published after 2010. The search terms used were "(fetal OR foetal OR fetus OR foetus) AND (MR OR MRI OR [magnetic resonance]) AND (brain OR cerebral)". Consensus statements from major authorities were also included. As a result, 44 relevant articles were included and formed the basis of thi… Show more

“…While some imaging modalities including X‐ray and computed tomography have known harmful effects, there is a strong public perception of the safety of ultrasound scanning, particularly in imaging the fetus; there is also an expectation that multiple scans will be undertaken during pregnancy to check the health of the baby . The alternative of providing all pregnant patients with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is problematic as MRI is not recommended for the first trimester and, in addition, would not feasible owing to the higher costs and limited availability of MRI when compared with that of ultrasound …”

“…El 50% -80% de los casos están asociados a otra malformación, como agenesia del cuerpo calloso, anormalidades de la migración o hemorragia intraventricular. Múltiples estudios han demostrado que la RMF tiene una alta sensibilidad y especificidad en el diagnóstico e identificación de la etiología de la ventriculomegalia 5,7,8 . En este estudio se encontraron 5 casos de ventriculomegalia, de los cuales 2 tenían anomalías asociadas, una de estas fue una hernia diafragmática congénita.…”

“…El cuerpo calloso comienza su formación en la octava semana de gestación y termina en la semana veinte de gestación 7,8 . Esto es de gran importancia, ya que la evaluación en edades gestacionales tempranas puede mostrar cambios normales del neurodesarrollo, que pueden ser confundidos con un hallazgo patoló-gico.…”
