Area of Science:

  • Perinatology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Prenatal diagnosis of fetal malformations is critical for planning postnatal care.
  • Craniosynostosis, a congenital condition involving premature fusion of skull sutures, presents diagnostic challenges.
  • Ultrasonography is a primary imaging modality in fetal assessment.

Observation:

  • A case of suspected fetal craniosynostosis was identified.
  • This prompted the activation of an interdisciplinary team involving obstetrics and pediatrics.
  • The diagnostic accuracy of prenatal ultrasonography for craniosynostosis was evaluated.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrated the practical application of interdisciplinary collaboration in managing suspected fetal anomalies.
  • Ultrasonography revealed limitations in definitively diagnosing craniosynostosis prenatally.
