- Abstract
This article, published in the journal "Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology," focuses on assessing brain volume and cortical development in fetuses with congenital aortic abnormalities (CAA). The study involved measuring fetal brain volume and sulcal measurements in routine prenatal examinations of fetuses at 18-40 weeks gestation. A total of 2584 normal fetuses were included as a reference group, and 235 fetuses with CAA were included in the study group. The results showed that fetuses with CAA had smaller frontal lobe volumes and differences in the measurements of the Sylvian fissure compared to the reference group. The study concludes that CAA can affect cerebral development, with more severe phenotypes showing more significant differences.
