ABSTRACT
Congenital anomalies of the central nervous system (CNS), although relatively frequent, can present prenatally with a wide dysmorphic spectrum. CNS anomalies can be classified into two groups; those in which a neurulation defect occurs during the first weeks of development, widely known as neural tube defects (NTDs), and those affecting lately the development of the brain during the time of neural proliferation, migration or organization. In addition, there are pseudo-cystic lesions affecting the brain parenchyma, which origin can be difficult to establish during examination of the fetal brain. Schizencephaly is a typical example of neural migration disorder and porencephaly is usually secondary to an external insult either caused by an infection, hemorrhage, or trauma. These lesions present several features at ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging that can be used in the differential diagnosis. We review this topic and propose some imaging signs which may help in establishing the prenatal diagnosis.
RESUMEN
Las anomalías congénitas que comprometen el Sistema Nervioso Central (SNC) son relativamente frecuentes aunque presentan un amplio espectro dismorfico en la etapa fetal. Estas lesiones pueden ser clasificadas en dos grupos, aquellas con defecto de la neurulación que ocurren durante las primeras semanas de la gestación, clásicamente conocidos como defectos del tubo neural (DTN), y las anomalías que comprometen posteriormente el desarrollo del cerebro durante la etapas de proliferación, migración u organización neuronal. Existen sin embargo, lesiones pseudo quísticas del parénquima cerebral que pueden llevar a confusión durante el examen cerebral fetal. La esquizencefalia es un típico ejemplo de defecto de migración neuronal y la porencefalia habitualmente es secundaria a una injuria externa de tipo infecciosa, hemorrágica o traumática. Estas lesiones presentan algunas características típicas al ultrasonido (US) y a la resonancia magnética (RM) que pueden ser considerados criterios para el diagnóstico diferencial prenatal. Se revisa el tema y se proponen algunos signos imagenológicos para clarificar el diagnóstico prenatal.
