Home / Service Detail
Fetal Neurosonogram
Fetal neurosonogram is a specialized ultrasound that examines the brain and spinal cord of a developing baby in the womb. It’s used to check for any abnormalities or developmental issues in the central nervous system. This type of scan is typically done if there are concerns from earlier ultrasounds, if the mother has risk factors such as certain infections or a family history of neurological conditions, or if there are symptoms suggesting potential problems. The neurosonogram helps ensure the baby’s brain and spinal cord are developing normally, guiding necessary care and interventions before birth.
What Does a Fetal Neurosonogram Involve?
- Detailed Examination: The ultrasound technician will carefully examine the brain, spinal cord, and other structures related to the nervous system.
- Measurements: The size and shape of these structures will be measured to assess their development.
- Abnormalities: The scan can help identify potential abnormalities such as hydrocephalus, spina bifida, and other brain malformations.
When is a Fetal Neurosonogram Recommended?
Family History: If there is a family history of neurological disorders.
Abnormal Ultrasound Findings: If other ultrasounds have shown abnormalities that may affect the nervous system.
Maternal Conditions: Certain maternal conditions, such as diabetes or infections, can increase the risk of neurological problems in the fetus.
Specific Concerns: If there are specific concerns about the baby’s neurological development.
Important Note: A fetal neurosonogram is a valuable tool for assessing the health of the baby’s nervous system, but it’s not always able to detect all abnormalities. It’s essential to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
