Abstract
Obstetric sonography can be used to diagnose anomalies in the fetal brain. Cystic masses in the fetal brain may be due to hydrocephalus, hydranencephaly, holoprosencephaly, or arachnoid cysts. The relations of the falx cerebrum, ventricular system, and cerebral convexities are essential in distinguishing among these anomalies. Anencephaly and encephaloceles can also be detected by sonography. A review of the literature and experience with 10 cases is discussed.Keywords
