Spina bifida main pic.JPG

Spina bifida

Spina bifida is a defect of the vertebral arches. Most frequently the cavity of the neural tube is open. In a minority of cases the defect is closed by the overlying skin. Open spina bifida results in a U-shaped defect of the vertebrae in the axial plane, and is associated with typical cranial signs and clubfoot.

Dandy walker complex main pic.JPG

Dandy-Walker Complex

Under this term are included a group of conditions that share in common one sonographic findings: the impression that the fourth ventricle communicates with the cisterna magna. These conditions include: Dandy-Walker malformation, Blake’s pouch cyst, vermian hypoplasia/agenesis. They have a similar sonographic appearance, particularly in early gestation, and differentiation requires a multiplanar approach.

Holoprosencephaly title image.jpg

Holoprosencephaly

Holoprosencephaly derives from failure of separation of the cerebral hemispheres. In the most severe forms there is one undivided cerebral mass that contains a crescent shaped rudimentary ventricular cavity. In these cases, severe cranio-facial anomalies (cyclopia, hypotelorism, median cleft face) are associated.

Meet the experts - brain

Because our adult brain is shaped as early as fetal life, it is essential to be able to follow its normal development through ultrasound monitoring, and to understand its growth, gyration, maturation and myelination, but also to be able to detect and evaluate the most frequent but also the most exceptional abnormalities.
It is important to have a systematized approach to the evaluation of the anomalies of the midline or posterior fossa, to know which other anomalies to look for, which assessment to carry out, how to combine ultrasound and MRI, and to understand how certain abnormalities or conditions can also affect brain development.

All this, and much more, will be detailed at the next ISUOG Virtual World Congress. You will be able to learn from the world's leading experts in ultrasound and MRI and to put your questions to them.

Join ISUOG and myself at our Virtual World Congress, 16-18 October 2020 and do attend the Brain sessions.
