Transforming Prenatal Care: Advancing Fetal Brain Health with Neurosonography at Yashoda Hospitals

Fetal neurosonography, also known as prenatal brain ultrasound, is a unique imaging modality used to assess any fetal brain abnormalities and identify them early for better therapeutic outcomes. The healthcare provider performs sonography to make sure the baby is safe from neurological problems during the second trimester, which is the prime time for fetal development.

Our fetal medicine specialists, along with obstetricians and neonatologists, aim to provide comprehensive care for pregnant women and their unborn babies to facilitate the best perinatal outcome. The goal of fetal medicine is to monitor, diagnose, and manage potential complications in the fetus that may arise during pregnancy when it is still in the mother’s womb. With cutting-edge technology and a patient-centered approach, we strive to offer the highest standard of care in fetal medicine.

Who needs Fetal Neurosonography?

• Evidence of fetal brain abnormalities found during routine scans; a neurosonogram is required for confirmation and a precise diagnosis.
• A child who is more likely to have brain issues because of their mother’s preexisting conditions or family history.
• Sonography is necessary for better monitoring of the health of the fetus in women who are at risk for pregnancy.
• A woman who is carrying twins in her womb, to detect any complications.
• For women who have experienced pregnancy failure, sonography helps in understanding the contributing factors to further plan a safe pregnancy.

How is Fetal Sonography done?

Before the procedure begins, a pregnant mother is asked to drink enough water for better & clearer images during the ultrasound.

To improve the probe’s skin contact and allow the technician to see a clear image of the fetal brain, a gel is applied to the exposed abdomen while the patient is lying down on the bed. Finally, an ultrasound probe is positioned over the abdomen, moving across various areas to help determine the cerebral anatomy or structural & developmental abnormalities of the fetal brain.

Benefits of Fetal Sonography:

• An effective way to spot brain issues early in pregnancy, like reduced blood flow to the growing brain or damage to the brain’s structures.
• An assessment method for a pregnancy journey to be safe without any complications.
• Beneficial to understand the genetic disorders likely to develop due to parents.
• Ensures the safety of the mother and the unborn child because the procedure is largely non-invasive and involves no radiation exposure.
