Diagnostic imaging tools to elucidate decreased cephalic biometry and fetal microcephaly: a systematic analysis of the central nervous system

Abstract excerpt

Although the most important feature warranting investigation of central nervous system (CNS) disorders during prenatal examination is ventriculomegaly, anomalies of cephalic biometry are also an important clue to the presence of fetal cerebral pathology. In routine practice, any decrease in cephalic biometry to < 5th percentile raises suspicion of underlying microcephaly. However, as discussed below, distinction...
