CNS anomalies, prenatal ultrasound, second trimester

Background: Congenital anomalies of the fetal central nervous system (CNS) significantly impact perinatal outcomes. Early prenatal detection via ultrasound is critical for management and parental counseling. Methods: A prospective observational study of 100 pregnant women between 18-24 weeks gestation was conducted using 2D ultrasound. Anomalies identified prenatally were compared to postnatal clinical and imaging outcomes. Diagnostic accuracy was statistically analyzed. Results: CNS anomalies were detected in 18% (18 cases) of pregnancies. The mean gestational age at diagnosis was 22.5 weeks. The most frequently identified anomalies were hydrocephalus (38.9%), anencephaly (27.8%), encephalocele (22.2%), and Dandy-Walker syndrome (11.1%). Prenatal ultrasonography achieved a high accuracy rate of 99.4% in identifying CNS anomalies. Conclusion: Detailed evaluation of fetal CNS anomalies by ultrasound during the second trimester is highly effective, facilitating early detection of severe abnormalities. Ultrasonography remains indispensable, allowing timely interventions and informed counseling, thereby potentially improving perinatal outcomes.
