Informations about the disease
While most pregnancies progress normally without serious complications, sometimes rare complications interfere with normal fetal development: genetic disorders, problems with the fetal chromosomes, abnormal placental development. Ultrasound screening in 2. trimester is part of many maternal healthcare programs. Main reasons for routine ultrasound refers to gestational age, number of viable fetuses, checking the placenta. Currently, screening for fetal malformations using checklists has become an important part of the examination. Prenatal detection of fetal abnormalities ranges from 17 to 85% depending on the experience of the center.
