Fetal Neurosonography
Fetal neurosonography is a specialized ultrasound examination that provides a detailed assessment of your baby’s brain, head and central nervous system during pregnancy. It uses advanced ultrasound imaging to carefully evaluate the developing brain structures and may be recommended when a detailed assessment is needed following routine screening or when there are specific clinical concerns.

When Is It Recommended?
Fetal neurosonography may be recommended when a more detailed assessment of the fetal brain and nervous system is clinically appropriate.
- It may be advised when an abnormality is suspected during a routine ultrasound.
- It may be recommended when there are concerns regarding fetal brain development.
- It can provide a more detailed evaluation following an abnormal finding on an anomaly scan.
- It may be considered when there is a history or increased risk of certain fetal neurological conditions.
- It may be performed when additional assessment of the fetal head or spine is required.
- Your doctor or fetal medicine specialist will determine the appropriate timing and extent of the examination based on your pregnancy.
Important Information
Fetal neurosonography is a specialized examination that provides detailed information about the developing fetal brain, but no prenatal ultrasound can detect every possible neurological or developmental condition.
- Some conditions may not be visible at the time of examination.
- Some abnormalities may develop or become apparent later in pregnancy.
- Image quality can be affected by fetal position, gestational age, maternal factors and other technical limitations.
- A normal examination cannot completely exclude every genetic, structural or developmental condition.
- Additional follow-up scans or investigations may be recommended depending on the findings.
- Your doctor or fetal medicine specialist will explain the results and guide you regarding any further evaluation.
