Abstract
Objective To emphasize the added value of 3-dimensional (3D) in the prenatal assessment of agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC). Methods Volume data sets of the brain of a fetus with ACC, as suspected previously by 2D-US, were stored. A retrospective offline analysis of the stored volume was performed. Results From the stored volume, complete ACC was diagnosed, and it was confirmed by a postnatal computed tomographic scan. Conclusion A combination of 2Dand 3D-US has considerable advantage over 2D-US in the diagnosis of fetal ACC. 3D-US provides an invaluable tool for the prenatal diagnosis and management of ACC, and its offline networking capabilities may improve healthcare delivery systems by extending the benefits of prenatal diagnosis of cerebral malformations to poorly served areas where an MRI is not available.
