Abstract

Fetal MRI has been proved to be a valuable complement to prenatal ultrasound in the study of congenital abnormalities, especially those of the central nervous system. However, its role in the assessment of the fetal abdomen is less known. Fetal abdominal pathology includes congenital abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, and abdominal wall defects. The aims of this article are to indicate an assessment protocol for the fetal abdomen, determine which patients will benefit from this technique and illustrate with examples the value of prenatal MRI and the role of the radiologist, both in diagnosis and perinatal management of these patients.

Resumen

La resonancia magnética fetal ha demostrado su valor complementario a la ecografía prenatal en el estudio de las anomalías congénitas, especialmente del sistema nervioso central. Sin embargo, su papel en la valoración del abdomen fetal es menos conocido. La patología del abdomen fetal incluye las anomalías congénitas del tracto gastrointestinal, genitourinario y de los defectos de la pared abdominal. Los objetivos de este trabajo son: indicar el protocolo para la evaluación del abdomen fetal, señalar que pacientes van a beneficiarse de esta técnica e ilustrar con ejemplos el valor de la RM prenatal y el papel del radiólogo, tanto en el diagnóstico como en el manejo perinatal de estos pacientes.
