Comparison between groups
Ultrasound images acquired during routine ultrasound scans performed in healthy fetuses and in fetuses found to have CNS malformations will be reviewed. Ultrasound images acquired from January 2000 to May 2021 will be analyzed until a sample size of approximately 80 patients is reached, who will be divided into 2 groups: group A (patients whose fetus has CNS malformations) and group B (healthy patients whose fetus has no anatomical CNS abnormalities).
