Purpose: The objective of this study was to detect prenatally corpus callosum pathologies such as agenesis, partial agenesis, dysgenesis, hypoplasia and hyperplasia. Material and Methods: In a total of 664 high-risk pregnancies the fetal corpus callosum was evaluated by 3-D ultrasound imaging as part of a level III examination prospectively. All scans were performed using Voluson E8 General Electric ultrasound equipment (Zipf, Austria) with a 5 – 8 MHz 3-D transabdominal and 5 – 9 MHz 3-D transvaginal transducer. In all cases the corpus callosum was precisely demonstrated in the median plane by application of th…
