Area of Science:

  • Perinatology
  • Fetal Medicine
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Fetal malformations necessitate specialized care and accurate diagnosis.
  • Management strategies vary based on the type and severity of the malformation.
  • Understanding causal and prognostic factors is essential for guiding therapeutic decisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the essential steps in managing fetal malformations.
  • To highlight the role of tertiary centers and multidisciplinary teams.
  • To discuss current and emerging treatment options, including intrauterine interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Confirmation of diagnosis at a tertiary center.
  • Comprehensive search for associated abnormalities.
  • Investigations into etiological and prognostic factors.
  • Multidisciplinary team conferences for therapeutic decision-making.

Main Results:

  • Therapeutic decisions encompass pregnancy termination, maternal transfer, premature delivery, or cesarean extraction.
  • Some malformations require immediate surgery, while others allow for delayed correction.
  • Intrauterine treatments like chronic derivations, operative fetoscopy, and fetal surgery are under evaluation.
  • Post-mortem examination is vital for improving genetic counseling in cases of fetal demise.

Conclusions:

  • Multidisciplinary collaboration is key for optimal fetal malformation management.
  • Tertiary center confirmation and thorough investigation are prerequisites for effective care.
  • Advanced intrauterine therapies offer potential for improved fetal outcomes.
