Ultrasound of Congenital Fetal Anomalies

Description

An acclaimed overview of ultrasound for the prenatal diagnosis of congenital anomalies returns in a new enlarged edition. In particular, the coverage of both Central Nervous System congenital and acquired anomalies as well as Congenital Heart Disease has been expanded enormously, to make this an impressive comprehensive resource for Fetal Neurology and Fetal Cardiology. Together with additional new chapters on guidelines and protocols, equipment, and disorders of sexual differentiation, and new insight into fetal surgery procedures, this third edition almost becomes three books in one.
