Diverse childhood neurologic disorders and outcomes following fetal neurologic consultation

Abstract

Fetal neurology encompasses the full spectrum of neonatal and child neurology presentations, with complex additional layers of diagnostic and prognostic challenges unique to the specific prenatal consultation. Diverse genetic and acquired etiologies with a range of potential outcomes may be encountered. Three clinical case presentations are discussed that highlight how postnatal phenotyping and longitudinal follow-up are essential to address the uncertainties that arise in utero, after birth, and in childhood, as well as to provide continuity of care.
