ABSTRACT
This study included 1000 pregnant women at high risk pregnancy of fetal anomalies. A detailed three-dimensional ultrasonography [3-DUS] examination was performed in each pregnancy between 11-22 weeks of gestation. A neonatal evaluation or pathological examination was made to confirm the prenatal findings. The results showed that the total prevalence of fetal abnormalities in the sample was 4.9%. The overall sensitivity in detecting fetuses with congenital abnormalities was 81.6%. The sensitivity per system was 100% for central nervous system [CNS], 75% for genetic syndromes and 50% for cardiovascular system [CVS] and Down syndrome. Some anomalies like hypospadias were not detected prenatally by sonographic examination. In 12 cases, pregnancy was terminated due to lethal congenital anomalies [anencephaly and bilateral renal agenesis]
