FOREWORD

Recent advances in imaging of the fetus have furthered our understanding of the neurodevelopment of the fetal brain. This third edition of Ultrasonography of the Prenatal Brain has capitalized on incorporating these new technologies in this textbook, to bring to the reader the most advanced information alongside the most impressive images. What Drs. Timor and Monteagudo provided in their first two editions, while nothing short of outstanding, has now been outdone in this third edition. Their choice of Drs. Pilu and Malinger as the additional editors was a work of genius. These two individuals, along with Drs. Timor and Monteagudo, are without a doubt the most talented and knowledgeable in imaging the fetal brain. While expect­ing excellence from these authors is the norm, the reader will not be disappointed. This text is all you would want and more. In the few chapters in which the editors are not contributors, they have chosen experts who are clearly the most knowledgeable on the specific subjects.
In reading this outstanding text, the reader will quickly marvel at how easily the text flows and is complimented by exquisite companion images. This edition uses advances in MRI fetal imaging to perfection. The just-right use of this modality highlights its most appropriate applications. At the same time the highest quality 2D and 3D images beautifully demonstrate how and why ultrasound remains the frontline modality for prenatal assessment of the fetal brain. The reader can easily follow normal fetal develop­ment from the early embryonic period all the way to the third trimester. The authors have created a near-perfect approach that allows the reader to easily recognize even subtle malformations in development. Along with the impeccable images the authors of all chapters have incor­porated management recommendations including the appropriate follow-up or use of additional imaging and/or laboratory methods.
This textbook is a major contribution to the literature. It is a must for anyone doing prenatal diagnosis and for every ultrasound laboratory doing any obstetric imaging. Changes made warrant the addition of this text to one’s library even if one has the second edition. Whether it is the new information on the molecular diagnosis, metabolic disorders, or infectious or vascular changes, any one of these areas provides enough value in and of itself to warrant ownership of this third edition. In reading this new book I can say that I have been given the advanced privilege of capitalizing on the new information of this edition. I have already translated many of the newly described diagnostic pearls into daily practice. While it was already clear to me before reading this edition that Drs. Timor, Monteagudo, Pilu, and Malinger are the giants of our field and my expec­tations were high, after reading the text I was not—and you will not be—disappointed. Their prolific writing style, com­bined with the beautiful diagnostic images and pathological correlation, is impeccable. While many textbooks cannot be easily read in their entirety, this text reads like a novel. The reader gets deeper and deeper involved and cannot put the book down without reading another chapter or two. You learn from every page read. You marvel at the images. Drs. Timor, Monteagudo, Pilu, and Malinger are to be congratulated for bringing us closer to understanding fetal neurodevelopment and anatomy. I am forever humbled by being given this honor to write this foreword.

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
The concept for this book was born many years ago and was preceded by careful acquisition and selection of repre­sentative neurosonograms of normal and abnormal cases. The central nervous system is probably the most elaborate and intricate organ or system in the human body. Minute structural abnormalities can, at times, reflect major func­tional deficiencies. On the other hand, it would appear that at times major anatomic defects do not seem to be associ­ated with significantly deviant function. It is extremely important to study and understand the normal and abnor­mal fetal and neonatal central nervous system. The central nervous system is one of the common sites of anatomical malformation in the fetus with chromosomal abnormality. The detection of anomalies within the fetal and neonatal brain is feasible using modern imaging techniques, such as ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic reso­nance imaging.
The aim of prenatal ultrasonography is to be able to reassure the pregnant patient as early as possible that fetal development is normal; or if a malformation is detected to counsel the patient about the nature of the problem. Most anomalies of the central nervous system develop early, and we have the tools to detect these as early as 10 to 16 weeks. Early detection of such central nervous system anomalies is probably the most important advance in modern peri­natology. Neonatal ultrasound confirms the prenatal diag­nosis. In addition, neonatal neurosonography is a powerful tool in diagnosing central nervous system pathology.
The first chapter deals with the development of the human central nervous system. Its authors are the distin­guished professors Ronan O’Rahilly and Fabiola Müller, who have a lifetime of professional experience. Professor O’Rahilly not only took time to write about the embryology of the brain, but also invested valuable time in overseeing the correct anatomical terminology used throughout most of the chapters.
The vast imaging possibilities of ultrasound in general and that of transvaginal sonography in particular regard­ing the fetal brain, are dealt with at the beginning of our book and lead into the chapters describing the detectable pathology in the fetal and neonatal central nervous sys­tem. Because fetal and neonatal neurosonographic scan­ning is performed using the anterior fontanelle and other calvarial openings, the “classical” axial planes cannot be used to describe the images obtained in the fan-shaped sonographic sections. It was our goal to keep the “classic”
planes in use by CT and by MRI imaging of the brain and create a separate and well-defined set of planes and sec­tions for the fetal brain imaging. A new nomenclature regarding the scanning planes of the fetal brain is intro­duced in Chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4.
We felt that a special and dedicated chapter dealing with biometry of the fetal brain should be included. A large number of tables and graphs as well as measurements of the fetal brain are incorporated for reference.
Because the fetal eye and the fetal face are frequently associated with brain pathology, two special chapters are devoted to these structures. Dr. Israel Meizner and Dr. Moshe Bronshtein’s group from Israel have the most imag­ing experience in these two areas and contributed these two important chapters, which we believe are the most detailed in the literature dealing with those subjects.
Neonatal neurosonology is an established diagnostic entity which has earned its well-deserved place in the armamentarium of the neuroimager since its introduction in 1979. Chapters concerning imaging of the normal and abnormal neonatal brain, and the chapter by Dr. Madhuri Kirpekar dealing with the spine, are included to form a continuum as far as the sonographic neuroimaging work­up of the prenatal and neonatal CNS.
The chapter written by Gianluigi Pilu and Vincenso D’Addario and their co-workers from Italy, made a signifi­cant contribution to the book by touching on the subject of the midline brain pathologies and the recently introduced attempts to image the fetal brain using MRI.
It is hard and labor intensive to study the physiological aspects of the brain. This was successfully done by recog­nized authors such as Jan Nijhuis who reviewed the fetal behavioral states coordinated by the brain and by Shimon Degani and Reuven Lewin sky summarizing the clinical uses of measuring the blood flow to the central nervous system.
Finally, the ethical aspects of neurosonography are explored by Frank Chervenak, who over the years has become an authority in the field of medical ethics.
This book was written for the perinatologists, neo­natologists. perinatal geneticists, as well as the imaging specialists such as radiologists, obstetricians, and sonogra­phers who see the fetus and neonate in their clinical prac­tice. These specialists scan the fetal and neonatal brain themselves or are directly involved with managing preg­nancies with structural malformations or anomalies of

the central nervous system. Special emphasis was placed on the creation of an objective and exhaustive updated review of the pertinent literature so that the reader would have a wide reference base on each subject. As far as the illustrations are concerned, the authors were encouraged to be liberal about including an unrestricted number of cases and their sonographic manifestations in their respective chapters. This may, therefore, lead to some duplication by presenting the same disease or pathology more than once. However, by allowing some deliberate repetition in depicting various cases, we, hopefully, cov­ered the commonly occurring pathologies. We consider such occasional and repetitive presentations as one of the advantages of the text enabling the reader to be educated by the experiences of the different authors and their vari­ous points of view.
One of the particular strengths of presenting the sono­grams is that we chose to include small body images so that readers could orient themselves as to how an individual sonographic view was obtained. This will, we hope, enable readers to quickly grasp and understand the actual planes used to generate the pictures.
We suggest that neuroimaging of the fetus be included in the structural evaluation of the fetus at any gestational age. We also believe that practitioners involved in fetal and/or neonatal neuroimaging will benefit from using this carefully prepared text.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
Responding to the positive feedback to the First Edi tion of our book we decided to update it and expand its content. An additional reason for this decision was the amount of new and pertinent articles which have accumulated in the last 3–4 years. We wanted to review them and add most of them to the more than 1100 references we used in the First Edition.
As far as the chapters are concerned, every previously written chapter was updated and there are several new chapters. Major changes were made in Chapters 2, 4, 5 and 8 to reflect the new clinical experience in the field of fetal neuroscan and fetal neuro-MRI. New sonographic images of commonly encountered entities were added to the previously published ones. Several rarely seen fetal neu­ropathologies were also illustrated and were in cluded. All chapters were updated with the newest articles from the lit­erature to justify the term “refer ence textbook,” a term used by many as they men tion the First Edition of the book.
Two new chapters (9 and 14) were added deal ing with three-dimensional fetal and neonatal neuroscans. Pediatric neurologists and neurosurgeons rely on neonatal CT and MRI images to study the neonatal brain. So far they seemed hesitant to coun sel and to plan postnatal (and prenatal) manage ment of pathologies based upon prenatal ultrasound imaging studies. The reason was the prenatal images were obtained at planes unfamiliar to them. They were waiting to see the postnatal imaging studies. Since the introduction of 2D and now 3D transfontanelle fetal neu­roimaging by high-fre quency, high-resolution ultrasound clear images can be generated in the planes which are familiar to pe diatric neurologists and neurosurgeons. The ex pected result of these images is a better understand ing of the pathologies leading to an earlier prenatal counsel­ing and planning for postpartum manage ment before the neonatal studies are available. We predict that the 3D fetal
and neonatal brain scan will expand and will be widely employed as effective diagnostic means.
The addition of two new chapters deals with devastat­ing diseases of the fetal brain and attempts for their cor­rection. Chapter 16 summarizes possi ble causes of cerebral palsy and Chapter 18 is a de scription of attempts to cor­rect neurological patholo gies in utero. It seems that after the well-known moratorium to treat diseases of the brain, while the fetus is still in the womb, there may be a place for intrauterine treatment for a well-selected patient popula­tion after adequately researched surgical pro cedures.
The use of the icons at the side of ultrasound images, to indicate the particular plane or section at which the image was generated, was extended to several more chap­ters. This ensures a better under standing of the anatomy depicted.
We tried (quite successfully) to standardize the ana­tomic nomenclature throughout the book and based it on the latest issue of the internationally ac cepted Nomina Anatomica. Correctly or incorrectly, some terms are so deeply “embedded” in the daily use, that it may be impos­sible to constantly correct them. One such example is the word “hydrocephaly” (the accepted, correct way to use it) which over time was changed to “hydrocephalus” and (prob­ably in correctly) used in many publications. We selected to use the correct term “hydrocephalus” in all chapters.
We hope that the Second Edition of this book will contribute to the understanding and most im portantly the earliest possible detection of neurolog ical diseases of the fetus and the newborn.

PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION
It is hard to believe, but the first edition of this book saw the light 15 years ago. At the time, it became a useful refer­ence for those who wanted to understand the development, the anatomy, and the pathophysiology of the fetal central nervous system from the viewpoint of ultrasonography.
After a relatively short 5 years—in 2001—the second edition of the book was published. We received encourag­ing feedback from the ultrasound and the feto-maternal specialists to add the necessary incremental knowledge and include relevant information to publish an updated second edition.
During the time from 2001 to recent days, several things happened that led us to consider the publication of the third edition of the book.
The first compelling reason to update the book was the “outburst” of new clinical research regarding imag­ing of the fetal brain. The use of high frequency and deep penetrating ultrasound transducer probes yielded increas­ing resolution, hence more accurate pictures of the fetal brain and spine. These high-resolution pictures found their way into the traditional “printed journals,” but even more so into the electronic media. Lectures at courses and webinars, and teaching on CDs and the Internet, spread the understanding and knowledge, requiring an organized way to compile it and reach out to those interested in the subject.
The second impetus to practically rewrite the previous edition was the tremendous improvement and dissemi­nation of three-dimensional ultrasound techniques and magnetic resonance imaging. By resonating to these, we decided to incorporate those two imaging modalities into the individual chapters wherever necessary to enhance understanding, rather than leaving them as stand-alone chapters. In the previous editions, we had placed these two subjects in their separate chapters. Our intention was to emphasize, teach, and incorporate these two important imaging technologies. Now that they are used daily to complement traditional ultrasound imaging of the fetal brain, we incorporated this use as an integral part of the many “older” as well as the new chapters.
The third and not less important reason to redo and rejuvenate the book was the increasing interest in imaging the fetal nervous system as it pertains to imaging the fetal brain. The surging clinical research in Europe, North
America, South America, and Israel, to name only a few locations, gave birth to a new generation of young and enthusiastic imagers, maternal–fetal medicine specialists, radiologists, and basic scientists, who literally inundated the field with new observations. As a result of this data surge, conference goers and others kept asking when a new edition of the book would be released.
To answer all three issues and explain the horizons of the new edition, Gustavo Malinger of Israel and Gianluigi Pilu of Italy graciously agreed to serve as co-editors. It was the widening of our perception of teaching that led us to change the format of the chapters completely, making them easier to read and easier to find points of interest. There is no doubt that adding new chapter authors, as well as scores of new 2D and 3D ultrasound images and updated literature were the necessary ingredients to con­sider this textbook of fetal neuroimaging a relevant refer­ence source.
As to the newly added chapters, we would like to mention them briefly. Ventriculomegaly was given its own importance. It is the most common presenting sono­graphic sign of brain pathology; therefore, the possible underlying clinico-pathologic reasons for it were “carved out” from the many different sites that were mentioned, creating a dedicated chapter for easy reference.
The different anomalies were reclassified, such as those of the ventral and dorsal induction, and that of cortical development. We tried to pour light upon a diagnostically problematic area of the fetal brain, namely the posterior fossa, focusing on a small but nevertheless important structure, the vermis. Three new chapters dealing with intrauterine insults, intrauterine infections, and metabolic disorders were also added to cover the progress made in those areas that became pertinent to fetal neuroscans.
In short, the newly incorporated chapters, along with those updated and carried over from our last edition, may render this new edition useful for those engaging in the clinical evaluation of the fetal brain.
