Impact of fetal magnetic resonance imaging on the management of fetal ventriculomegaly: Evaluation of 38 cases with an included synopsis

摘要: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in fetuses with sono- graphically evident ventriculomegaly regard provision additional information: as an isolated finding, acquired pathology, or a part syndrome/malformation complex. Thirty-eight women fetal suspected by prenatal ultrasonography (US) were referred our institution from October 2002 January 2007 for MRI.
