Fetal neurosonography conference held in Kielce

A conference dedicated to fetal neurosonography was held in Kielce, focusing on specialized ultrasound examinations that allow doctors to monitor fetal brain development before birth. This diagnostic tool helps identify potential abnormalities early, enabling medical professionals to prepare appropriate postnatal care.

Krzysztof Berbeka, a perinatology and neurosonography consultant, noted that the procedure is typically recommended when standard ultrasounds show concerning signs or when there is a family history of neurological disorders or epilepsy. The examination can be performed in any trimester and is suitable for women of all ages.

Neurosonography can detect issues such as cortical maturation disorders or delays that may impact future psychomotor development. In certain instances, it allows doctors to monitor the nervous system following surgical interventions performed during pregnancy. While currently available in cities like Warsaw, Łódź, Poznań, and Kraków, specialists hope to expand access to these diagnostics across Poland.
