This extensively illustrated book guides readers through the use of
ultrasound ?including modern 3D images - to detect and identify birth
defects in utero. Up-to-date advice is offered on the differential
diagnosis of a wide range of fetal abnormalities. Throughout the book
ultrasound images are matched with actual birth pictures or abortus
specimens. Each anomaly is discussed in a standardized, easy-to-
follow format that covers characteristic features, pathogenesis and
etiology, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and management.
