Taylor & Francis An Atlas of Fetal Central Nervous System Disease Diagnosis and Management 2003 Edition by Ritsuko K. Pooh, Kazuo Maeda, Kyong Hon Pooh
Advanced imaging technologies such as transvaginal sonography, 3D technology, and MRIs have opened up a new era in the prenatal diagnosis and management of central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities. An Atlas of Fetal Central Nervous System Disease: Diagnosis and Management contains over 100 images of congenital CNS anomalies and brain injuries in utero. It covers how to use advanced neuroimaging technologies for accurate CNS diagnosis and obstetrical management, provides detailed illustrations of the procedures for postnatal neurosurgical management, and helps answer questions about the timing of brain insult in utero and in cerebral palsy. Table of contents : - Background and Roles of Fetal CNS Diagnosis and Management:Background of fetal CNS assessment Role of fetal CNS diagnosisCNS Development and Anatomy:CNS development Basic knowledge of brain anatomy for neuroimagingTechnologies, Techniques of Fetal Neuroimaging Diagnosis:Transabdominal sonography Transvaginal sonography Three-dimensional ultrasound Ultrasonic tissue characterization with gray level histogram width (GLHW) Magnetic resonance imaging Imaging of Normal Fetal Central Nervous System:Cranial bone Intracranial structure Vertebra and spine Brain circulation Volume calculation Volume contrast images by 4D technology MR imagingHydrocephalus, Ventriculomegaly:Prenatal assessment of enlarged ventricles Neurosurgical management of hydrocephalusCongenital Brain Anomalies:Dysraphism Spina bifida Cranium bifidum Cerebral anomalies Holoprosencephaly Agenesis, hypogenesis of the corpus callosum Absent septum pellucidum Lissencephaly Schizencephaly Posterior fossa anomalies Dandy Walker malformation, variant, Megacisterna Magna Chiari malformation Rhombencephalosynapsis Cranial bone anomalies Craniosynostosis Others Vein of Galen Aneurysm Arachnoid cyst Choroid plexus cystsAcquired Brain Abnormalities in Utero:Subependymal pseudocysts, hemorrhage Intracranial hemorrhage Porencephaly Hydranencephaly Subdural hemorrhage Polymicrogyria (postmigrational polymicrogyria) Fetal PVL Fetal PVE Brain tumors
