Abstract
One of the greatest challenges of obstetrical ultrasonography is the better understanding of fetal neurological function. Neurological problems such as cerebral palsy are poorly understood and often falsely attributed to intrapartum events, while for the majority of cerebral palsy cases it has been proven that the causative pathway starts long before delivery. Several attempts have been made in order to define normal and abnormal fetal neurological function and to develop a method of assessment of the integrity of the fetal nervous system, but still without satisfactory sensitivity. Fetal behavioral patterns are directly reflecting developmental and maturati onal processes of fetal central nervous system. It has been suggested that the assessment of fetal behavior during different periods of gestation may provide valuable information about normal and abnormal brain development, and contribute to the early diagnosis of various structural or functional neurological abnormalities.
