Unilateral megalencephaly is a rare malformation of the central nervous system characterized by an overgrowth of one cerebral hemisphere due to an anomaly of neuronal cell migration. It shows macroscopic and histological alterations of the central nervous tissue. We report on a case of this malform

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
We report a case of schizencephaly diagnosed prenatally at 23 weeks of gestational age with two‐dimensional (2D) and three‐dimensional (3D) sonography and fetal brain MRI, confirmed by autopsy. The diagnostic method of choice is 2D transabdominal and transvaginal sonography, whereas additional 3D sonography and MRI may provide a better understanding of the pathology and related findings. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A 31‐year‐old pregnant woman was referred for isolated mild ventriculomegaly and failure to visualize the left lateral ventricle's anterior horn on second trimester sonography (US). Three‐dimensional US suspected a frontal lesion deviating the midline. MRI revealed a mass compressing th
We present the prenatal 3-dimensional (3D) sonographic findings in a case of holoprosencephaly with ethmocephaly at 32 weeks' gestation. The sonographic diagnosis was based on the intracranial findings of a single ventricle and bulb-shaped appearance of the thalami and facial abnormalities, includin
## Abstract ## Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the intraobserver and interobserver agreements in the diagnosis of malignant versus benign adnexal masses using two‐dimensional ultrasonography (2D US) and three‐dimensional ultrasonography (3D US). ## Methods. Two experienced
## Abstract This work demonstrates that the principles underlying phase‐contrast MRI may be used to encode spatial rather than flow information along a perpendicular dimension, if this dimension contains an MRI‐visible object at only one spatial location. In particular, the situation applies to 3D
