Fetal Neurosonogram
What Is a Fetal Neurosonogram?
A fetal neurosonogram is a specialized ultrasound examination that provides a detailed assessment of the baby’s brain and central nervous system while still in the womb. This scan allows for high‑resolution imaging of brain structures, ventricles, spine, and surrounding tissues, offering more detailed information than a routine ultrasound.
The procedure is safe, non‑invasive, and performed using advanced ultrasound techniques to support accurate prenatal assessment and early reassurance.

When Is a Fetal Neurosonogram Recommended?
- Abnormal findings on routine anomaly scan
- Suspicion of brain or spinal structural concerns
- Increased fluid in brain ventricles (ventriculomegaly)
- High‑risk pregnancies requiring detailed neurological assessment
- Follow‑up evaluation for previously noted findings
