    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Prenatal Diagnosis
    • Fetal Medicine

    Context:

    • Second-trimester pregnancy
    • Ovular cavity introduction
    • Optical device for fetal observation

    Purpose:

    • Detect fetal malformations missed by echography
    • Collect fetal red blood cells via placental vein puncture
    • Prenatal diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies

    Summary:

    • Foetoscopy involves inserting an optical device into the ovular cavity for fetal and placental examination.
    • Enables detection of specific fetal abnormalities and collection of fetal blood.
    • Primary use is the prenatal diagnosis of sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia.

    Impact:

    • Provides critical diagnostic information for severe inherited blood disorders.
    • Offers an alternative for detecting malformations not visible with ultrasound.
    • Highlights the need for experienced practitioners and robust organizational structures due to inherent risks.
