Perinatal Neuroradiology From the Fetus to the Newborn
The novel aim of this book is to illustrate the MR imaging features of the fetal and the neonatal brain by matching prenatal and postnatal images for a wide range of neurological abnormalities. The focus is on both conventional and advanced MR imaging tec

Preface
This book originates from a very simple observation: for neuroradiologists which take care of neonatal brain, knowledge of what happens to the fetal brain, regarding both physiology and pathology, is essential to better understanding brain neonatal diseases. Nonetheless it is virtually impossible to assess the fetal brain by means of MRI without an appropriate knowledge of neonatal brain diseases. Therefore, “prenatal and neonatal worlds” cannot be separated from both conceptual and practical point of view, but they should be studied together as a natural continuum regarding normal and pathological brain development. From these considerations arises the subtitle: “from the fetus to the newborn”. This is not a classical and exhaustive textbook, but more properly a collection of cases organized in a systematic way, so as to follow, from midgestation until birth, the fate of brain anomalies, highlighting how they may change during the course of gestation and how it may be difficult to predi
