“…Thus, the fetus's subtle structures, can be examined directly in a clear way. By 4D ultrasound, accurate differentiated diagnosis of different brain lesions could be achieved by the observation of the focal location, size and structure, the spatial relationship with surrounding parenchyma, as well as the stability of images with fetus movements [26] .…”

Background: Midline cerebral structures are essential for the normal morphogenesis and function of the fetal brain. However, the diagnosis of congenital anomalies of midline cerebral structures. The Aim of The Work:This study aimed to evaluate the role of 2D versus 4D ultrasound in the diagnosis of midline structures of the fetal brain at the second trimester of pregnancy.Patients and Methods: 200 pregnant women at the second trimester [18-22 weeks] were selected. They were clinically evaluated to check the female and fetal wellbeing. Then a screening of fetal brain midline strictures had been performed by two-and four-dimensional ultrasound, aiming to discover any anomalies of the fetal brain midline structure. Both scans were compared with the postnatal transcranial ultrasound. Results:The 2D ultrasound detected no abnormality in 194 out of 200 fetuses [97.0%], and 4 cases [2.0%] had mega-cisterna magna, and 2 cases [1.0%] had encephalomylocele, which were detected by the 4 D and confirmed by postnatal transcranial ultrasound. The 4 D US discovered 2 cases [1.0%] of Dandywalker malformation, which was confirmed by postnatal transcranial US. There was a complete agreement between prenatal 4D ultrasound and postnatal transcranial ultrasound. The prenatal 2D ultrasound had a sensitivity of 75.0%, specificity of 100.0%, PPV of 100.0%, NPV of 98.7% and overall accuracy of 99.0%. Otherwise, the prenatal 4D ultrasound was 100.0% sensitive and specific. Conclusion:4D ultrasound showed superiority in the diagnosis and confirmation of the fetal brain midline structure's abnormalities. Also, the prenatal 4D ultrasound was 100.0% sensitive as postnatal transcranial US.

“…Thus, the fetus’s subtle structure, including the overall morphology, structures and the spatial relationships of each body part, can be observed directly and clearly (17). Using 4D ultrasound in prenatal screening, fetal intracranial cysts can be better visualized for more accurate differentiated diagnosis, by observing the focal location, size and structure, the spatial relationship with surrounding brain parenchyma, as well as the image stability when the fetus moves in different direction (18). In general, 4D ultrasound performs better in prenatal screening of the fetus, and its clinical application should be promoted.…”

Background: To assess the clinical value of two-dimensional (2D) plus four-dimensional (4D) ultrasonography in diagnosis of fetal craniocerebral anomalies. Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on the sonographic features of 83 maternity patients admitted to Northwest Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Xian China from January 2013 to December 2017 diagnosed with suspected fetal anomalies of the brain and skull through 2D and 4D ultrasonography. Results: Fifty six patients were diagnosed with the anomalies by 2D ultrasonography only, 65 patients by 4D ultrasonography only, and 74 patients by 2D plus 4D ultrasonography.76 patients were confirmed to have fetal craniocerebral anomalies after birth or induced labor. Diagnostic accuracies of 2D ultrasound only, 4D ultrasound only, and 2D plus 4D ultrasound were 68.67%, 81.93% and 95.18%, respectively (P<0.05). The accuracy of 2D plus 4D ultrasound was greater than those of 2D ultrasound only and 4D ultrasound only, and the accuracy of 4D ultrasound only was higher than that of 2D ultrasound only (P<0.05). The sensitivity of 2D plus 4D ultrasound was greater than those of 2D ultrasound only and 4D ultrasound only (P<0.05). The specificity of 2D plus 4D ultrasound was greater than those of 2D ultrasound only and 4D ultrasound only (P<0.05). Conclusion: Combined ultrasonography can better differentiate fetal craniocerebral anomalies, providing early and more accurate information for clinicians as well as maternity patients to make a decision. This clinical practice would be valuable for improving the quality of the newborn population.
