This book describes how different diagnostic techniques may facilitate the prenatal
identification of orofacial malformations. The role of standard two-dimensional ultrasound is
documented and explained but detailed attention is also paid to the use of three-dimensional
(3D) ultrasound including the novel 3D reslicing technique and to the value of complementary
magnetic resonance imaging. The malformations considered include cleft lip cleft lip and
palate ocular malformations abnormalities associated with fetal aneuploidy and tumors. These
conditions are depicted in numerous high-quality images accompanied by thorough and informative
descriptions of imaging findings. The excellence of the illustrative material and the caliber
of the authors who are leading international experts in the field ensure that Prenatal
Diagnosis of Orofacial Malformations will be an invaluable tool for obstetricians and
gynecologists.
